Murumuru Oil is a derived from the seeds of the Amazonian palm Astrocaryum murumuru through a controlled fractionation and purification process.
This process selectively isolates the lighter, more fluid triglyceride components, resulting in a low-viscosity, fast-absorbing oil with improved oxidative stability and a refined sensory profile.
Unlike raw Murumuru butter, which is solid and highly saturated, this fractionated form offers enhanced spreadability, clarity, and formulation versatility, making it ideal for modern cosmetic applications requiring both performance and elegance.
Key Functional Properties:
High Emolliency with Light Skin Feel: Provides deep moisturization while maintaining a non-heavy, elegant finish, suitable for facial formulations.
Improved Oxidative Stability: Fractionation removes heavier, more oxidation-prone fractions, resulting in longer shelf life and formulation stability.
Enhanced Spreadability: The reduced molecular weight distribution allows for uniform application and improved glide.
Skin Barrier Support: Rich in saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, helping to reinforce the lipid barrier and reduce transepidermal water loss.
