Tucuma oil and butter are extracted from the fruit of the tucuma palm, which is native to the Brazilian Amazon rainforest. This fruit is very rich in macro and micronutrients, essential fatty acids, in addition to important functional bioactives such as carotenes and phenolic compounds. These high-performance bioactives form the basis of two new and innovative products: Hyaluronic Tucuma Pro & Extra.
HYALURONIC TUCUMA PRO
Obtained from the tropical pulp of the tucuma fruit, with a warm and intense colour, this bioactive induces the synthesis of hyaluronic acid by 44% in cells exposed to UV radiation, in addition to protecting this molecule from photodegradation by 88%.
This means not only strengthening the body’s natural defenses against the effects of ultraviolet radiation, but also reversing some damage, such as cell aging.
Mechanism of action:
- Preventively, it protects the Hyaluronic acid produced;
- Prevents premature aging of the skin;
- Reverses damage caused by ultraviolet radiation.
It provides a relaxing and delicate sensation, with deep hydration power for healthier-looking skin.
HYALURONIC TUCUMA EXTRA
This bioactive is extracted from the seeds of the fruit and has biocompounds that stimulate the production of hyaluronic acid by 27%, naturally present in the extracellular matrix of fibroblasts.
The restoration of natural levels of this polymer improves the skin’s biomechanical properties, such as viscoelasticity, ensuring liveliness and firmness.
Moreover, this powerful vegetable active reintegrates the skin´s barrier lipids, forming a pleasant film on the surface of the skin and functional in its inner layers.
Mechanism of action:
- Reintegration of natural Hyaluronic acid into the dermis;
- Filling of the Extracellular Matrix;
- Improves the mechanical resistance of the skin.
It has been specially developed to bring smoothness to formulations, ensuring an outstanding sensorial experience, like a natural silicone and a new texture for different cosmetic experiences, such as make-up.
