A little guide to Chica’s butters.
Look, scent, texture, melting point, main fatty acids, what they work best in, and a quick formulator note for each one.
If you work with butters, save this one. It’s the kind of reference that comes in handy later.

*Descriptions refer to the unrefined butters unless otherwise noted. Avocado Butter is hydrogenated avocado oil, and Mango Butter is deodorized.

BONUS RECIPE: Overnight Foot Butter

One extra recipe to finish the series.

This one is made with Ucuuba Butter, Cupuaçu Butter and Pracaxi Oil, and it came out very firm, which is exactly what I wanted for an overnight foot treatment.

Scoop out a little with a spatula or spoon, warm it well between your hands, then massage it into clean, dry feet, especially heels, cuticles and rough areas. Put on socks and leave it on overnight.

Perfect for the kind of feet that need a little more help than regular body butter can give. by @rainforestchica

Day 5 of 5 Days of 3-Ingredient DIY Recipes.

Finishing the series with a Dry Skin Rescue Balm made with Tucumã Butter, Andiroba Oil and Beeswax.

This one is for the stubborn dry spots: cuticles, knuckles, elbows, heels, anywhere that needs something richer than a regular body butter.

Tucumã gives it that smooth, protective feel, Andiroba brings its own very Amazonian skin-care history, and Beeswax helps seal everything in.

A good one to keep around once the weather starts getting drier. by @rainforestchica

Day 4 of 5 Days of 3-Ingredient DIY Recipes.

Today we’re making a Hair Leave-In Butter with Murumuru Butter, Babassu Oil and Patauá Oil.

This one came out quite firm, and I actually love it that way. You have to melt it between your hands before applying, which naturally keeps you from using too much. And with a leave-in, a little really does go a long way.

Rub a small amount between your palms until it melts, then smooth it through damp hair, concentrating on the lengths and ends.

It can work for all hair types, you just need to adjust the amount. Use a tiny bit to smooth flyaways, a little more on dry ends, or work it into curls for softness and definition. by @rainforestchica

Day 3 of 5 Days of 3-Ingredient DIY Recipes.
Today we’re giving the skin a break and taking care of the hair.
This Damaged Hair Treatment is made with Cupuaçu Butter, Pequi Oil and Ojon Oil. Rich, simple and especially nice for dry, stressed hair.
Use it as a pre-shampoo treatment, add a little heat if you want a deeper treatment, or use a small amount before the beach or pool to help protect your hair from wind, salt water and chlorine. by @rainforestchica

Day 2 of 5 Days of 3-Ingredient DIY Recipes.

A little Lip Butter Bar made with Cocoa Butter, Cupuaçu Butter and golden Pequi Oil. No wax, no complicated recipe, just three beautiful Brazilian ingredients.
For lips, cuticles and little dry spots when the weather cools down.

They also make really cute little gifts. Make a batch, tuck each one into a small tin, and you’ve got an easy handmade gift for the holidays. by @rainforestchica
