If you like to achieve a clear and fresh skin, I know the fact that you already tried many skincare products. From reading skin care blogs, beauty routines on vlogs or perhaps recommendation from your friends, it may work for them but not for you. Well I admit that I am one of you, I like researching and finding out the best skincare products that will suit for my skin however it’s not economical.
I have a dry sensitive skin so I need to keep it moisturized but I reside in a tropical country. One of the reasons why sometimes I am not putting lotions, cream or even oil on my body because it feels greasy and heavy.
Fortunately, for us Filipinos, the dynamic duo behind Organique, the company that produces and markets the Organique Acai Premium Blend and the Organique Acai Freeze-Dried Capsules that are now helping countless Filipino families live a healthier and happier lifestyle.
Realizing that they have found yet another “wonder fruit” from the Amazon rainforest, they quickly worked with a team of experts to develop cupuacu-based skincare products. And, in the process, they were exceedingly glad to learn that the butter from this Brazilian fruit worked well with premium-grade Philippine coconut oil. Their work has, so far, resulted in a soap and a body oil – the initial offerings of the NUA skincare product line that is now being marketed by Organique Skincare Inc.
NUA combines a centuries-old Brazilian beauty secret, cupuaçu, with an abundant Philippine natural resource, the versatile coconut oil. Cupuaçu, pronounced as “ku.ˌpu.a.ˈsu,” is a fruit rich in vitamins, fatty and amino acids, as well as antioxidants that is harvested from the heart of the Amazon rainforest. The cupuaçu fruit is a popular ingredient used in numerous South American delicacies; while the fruit’s pulp and seeds are where the skin-nourishing cupuaçu butter and oil are sourced. Because of cupuaçu’s extremely low melting point, the cupuaçu butter can easily melt into the skin. The addition of locally harvested premium-grade coconut oil into the mix allows the cupuaçu butter’s ultra-hydrating and moisture-boosting properties to get sealed in, without the heavy, greasy feel that you usually get from most skincare products.
Based on my research, the cupuaçu butter benefits are:
- Cupuaçu Butter not only helps stabilize emulsions, enhancing the performance of other ingredients, it also is a rich moisturizer that is full of skin-friendly fatty acids that improve the tone and texture of skin while harnessing the power of nature to support skin from damage caused by free radicals.
- Cupuaçu Butter also helps improve skin elasticity by supporting the skin proteins collagen and elastin. It does so by maintaining the skin’s barrier, helping it manage levels of toxins such as pollution and cigarette smokes, which contribute to fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots and other signs of aging.
