There are specks of the Acai Seed in this butter, so don’t be alarmed by any particles that will settle down on the bottom of your microwave safe container.

2015 Note: Acai Butter has been discontinued since this blog post was originally written in 2009. Excellent alternatives for Acai Butter would be Shea, Mango, Almond or Olive Butters as well as an other butters/oils that are solid at room temperature but not brittle.
I made this over the weekend- love it! There’s a faint, sweet fragrance to it, and it is super moisturizing.
i just got this as a sample in my recent order (thank you by the way)and I was very impressed! I rubbed it all over my hubby’s elbows and they were instantly smoother. I cant wait to see them after a few day of use.
You will have to let us know how hubby’s elbows turn out! My dad likes this recipe for the calluses on his feet. They have made his feet so much softer!
