Murumuru butter is showing great promise for hair care products, according to the

. Its natural approach to nourishing and revitalizing the hair fiber has caught the
attention of cosmetic giants and has been gaining new fans every day. The ingredient is
extracted from the seed of the murumuru, a palm tree typical from the Amazon region.
Rich in lauric, myristic and oleic acid, murumuru butter is a powerful emollient agent,
which nourishes and moisturizes the hair and skin. When used in hair care products, it
has an anti-frizz effect, reducing hair volume and providing softness and shine.

Brazils rich biodiversity is making the country increasingly attractive to the international
market, says Colombani. The murumuru butter supplied by Beraca is manufactured
through partnerships with local communities working in the sustainable harvesting and
processing of fruits and seeds. In the region of Bragana, state of Par, more than 100
families are involved in the activity, which contributes to regional development and is an
important source of income for the local people. In order to provide sustainable
ingredients to the cosmetic industry, Beraca tracks each and every stage of the supply
chain, from sourcing to delivering, says Daniel Sabar, managing director at Beraca.
We are committed to the process of empowering local communities, aiming to increase
their opportunities in the market while contributing to the conservation of the worlds
largest rainforest.
