The leaves are simple and grow up to 30 centimeters long. The small flowers are single-sexed and are found in panicles. The fruit is reddish and oval-shaped. The individual Virola trees, which include 40 to 60 species, are difficult to differentiate from one another. The bark of the tree is rich in tannins and also the hallucinogen DMT, as well as 5-MeO-DMT, and it is used by indigenous people to treat skin conditions. Seeds from Virola sebifera are processed to obtain the fats, which are yellow and aromatic. They smell like nutmeg and are used industrially in the production of fats, candles and soaps. This virola fat possesses properties similar to cocoa butter and shea butter. Our Ucuuba Butter is Harvested under the control of provincial authorities in Brazil to provide sustainable business with reasonable remuneration for local communities.

They are the perfect addition to your creams, lotions, body butter, soaps, and more! Each of our butters has fantastic emollient properties that help to enrich and smooth the skin. Shea Butter has a long history, and is now commonly used on dry skin, in moisturizing applications and as a massage butter by itself. Cocoa Butter is similar but with a longer shelf life due to its anti-oxidant properties. Mango Butter shares many of the same properties, only it is nearly fragrance free. For that reason it is used most often in formulations rather than as a stand alone product. We also carry several exotic Amazonian Butters. These too have excellent moisturizing and emollient properties, as well as being easy to market. They have to be tried to be truly appreciated.
