Tucuma Butter – Unrefined

RidhSa Lipids Unrefined Tucuma Butter is a botanical kernel fat obtained from a verified Astrocaryum palm source, commonly Astrocaryum vulgare. The unrefined grade is extracted and filtered without subsequent chemical refining, bleaching or deodorization. Kernel-derived tucuma butter is typically rich in lauric- and myristic-containing triglycerides, making it different from the more unsaturated oil obtained from tucuma fruit pulp. It can add emollience, texture and conditioning properties to body butters, balms, soaps, hair masks and solid cosmetic products. Colour, odour and melting behaviour vary with species, kernel quality and processing. Species identification, kernel-versus-pulp origin and batch specifications should be confirmed before commercial supply.

Overview

Botanical Name	Astrocaryum vulgare Mart. (commonly used for tucumã kernel butter); confirm exact species, as regional tucumã names may also refer to other Astrocaryum species
Cas#	Confirm the specific substance identifier against the supplier SDS; do not assume that kernel butter and fruit-pulp oil share the same identity.
Color	Off-white to ivory, cream or pale yellow; batch-dependent
Method Of Extraction	Cleaned and dried palm kernels are mechanically pressed or extracted using a documented suitable method; crude butter is settled and filtered. Unrefined material is not subsequently neutralized, bleached or deodorized. Confirm extraction details for the actual lot.
Constituents	Kernel butter is typically rich in saturated medium-chain fatty acids, notably lauric and myristic acids, with smaller amounts of oleic, palmitic, capric and other fatty acids. Exact percentages are species- and batch-dependent; obtain a GC-FAME report and do not substitute fruit-pulp oil composition.
Solubility	Insoluble in water; mixes with compatible oils and fats when melted; soluble in suitable nonpolar organic solvents.
Specific Gravity	No universally verified product release specification; determine density of the melted fat at a stated temperature.
Flash Point	Not routinely specified for this nonvolatile vegetable fat; obtain a measured, method-specific value if required.

Benefits

Provides emollience and skin conditioning; adds structure to balms and solid products; contributes to hair softness and manageability in formulated conditioners; supports botanical fat blends; offers a naturally derived lipid ingredient for cosmetic development.

Uses

Body butters, lip balms, hair masks, hair conditioners, soap bars, lotion bars, hand and foot balms, solid moisturizers and customized cosmetic butter blends.

What is unrefined tucuma butter?

It is fat extracted from tucuma palm kernels without subsequent chemical refining, bleaching or deodorization; settling and filtration may still be used.

Is tucuma butter the same as tucuma oil?

Not necessarily. Tucuma kernel butter and tucuma fruit-pulp oil come from different parts of the fruit and can have markedly different fatty-acid profiles.

Which botanical species produces tucuma butter?

Astrocaryum vulgare is commonly cited for tucuma kernel butter, but trade names may cover other Astrocaryum species; verify the supplier’s botanical identification.

What is the melting point of unrefined tucuma butter?

Melting behaviour depends on species, kernel composition and extraction. Request a measured batch slip point or melting range rather than using an assumed universal value.

Can tucuma butter be used in haircare and skincare?

Yes, appropriately qualified cosmetic-grade kernel butter may be formulated into conditioners, masks, balms and moisturizers, subject to stability, compatibility and safety assessment.
