Tips: Cupuacu Butter contains about 38% stearic acid ... if you wanted to clean up your label you could use it instead of stearic acid so, if your formula calls for 2% stearic acid you would use 5.27% Cupuacu Butter and you would be getting the same 2% stearic acid (2 / .38 = 5.27%) but you would be adding a host of other benefits, including skin protection and moisture, while improving your product's label appeal.
