What a —/5 rating means
Because no dependable rating exists, judge Tucuma Butter by how your own skin responds rather than by a number. The absence of a score is not the same as a zero — it simply means the ingredient has not been reliably tested on the classic comedogenic scale.
About Tucuma Butter
It is a rich plant butter that melts at skin temperature, prized for cushiony moisture. A hard Amazonian palm butter with a high lauric and myristic acid content, used as a shea alternative in balms and hair products. It is named on the CLEARSTEM and AcneClinicNYC pore-clogging ingredient lists, but neither publishes a 0-5 comedogenic score for it and no Fulton-derived table we cite carries one. We therefore leave it unrated rather than invent a number — treat the listing itself as the signal.
On a label it can read as Tucuma Butter, Astrocaryum Tucuma Seed Butter, Tucumã Butter — worth knowing when you scan an ingredient deck.
Tucuma Butter in makeup and skincare
You'll meet it in stick foundations, cream products, and rich lip colour, as well as body and face creams.
If you deal with fungal acne (malassezia folliculitis) rather than ordinary clogged pores, note that Tucuma Butter is among the fatty-acid or ester-type ingredients that community sources commonly avoid — a separate concern from its comedogenic score, and one with weaker evidence behind it.
Tucuma Butter comedogenic FAQ
Is Tucuma Butter comedogenic?

What is the comedogenic rating of Tucuma Butter?
Tucuma Butter is unrated on the 0–5 comedogenic scale. Tucuma Butter is one of 26 ingredients, out of the 216 in our dataset, that none of our cited sources gives a comedogenic number, so we leave it unrated instead of guessing.
Is Tucuma Butter pore-clogging?
Without a published rating we cannot say either way. Its position on the ingredient list still matters: near the end of a label it is present in small amounts.
