Theobroma grandiflorum
Parente amazonienne du cacao avec de grands fruits et un beurre de graines gras utilisé en médecine alimentaire et cosmétiques à travers le Brésil.
Cupuacu butter, derived from the seeds of Theobroma grandiflorum, is a nutrient-rich Amazonian fat traditionally used as a food medicine and topical moisturizer. Its primary uses include skin hydration, antioxidant protection, and anti-inflammatory support, attributed to its unique blend of theograndins, polyphenols, and phospholipids. The butter is also valued for its nutritive and energy-supporting properties in indigenous Amazonian and Brazilian folk medicine.
Theograndins, a class of polyphenols unique to cupuacu, exhibit antioxidant activity by scavenging free radicals and upregulating endogenous antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase and catalase. The high content of stearic acid and phospholipids supports skin barrier function by integrating into the lipid matrix, reducing transepidermal water loss. Additionally, polyphenols inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL-6 and TNF-α, contributing to its anti-inflammatory effects in topical applications.
