Kokum Butter is a light, non-greasy, and highly prized butter in cosmetics. It is a powerful moisturizer with a high concentration of fatty acids that helps to soften the skin and improve elasticity. It is known for its ability to regenerate skin cells and is often used to treat dry, cracked, and chapped skin. Its non-comedogenic nature means it won’t clog pores, making it suitable even for acne-prone skin.
● For Cracked Heel & Hand Repair: Apply the butter directly to dry, cracked heels or chapped hands as an intense moisturizing treatment.
● In Lightweight Lotions: Its non-greasy feel makes it a perfect ingredient for creating lotions and creams that absorb quickly without leaving a heavy residue.
● As a Lip Balm Base: Its hardness makes it an excellent structural ingredient for solid lip balms and lotion bars.
We source our Kokum Butter from the seeds of the Garcinia indica fruit, wild-crafted from the forests of India.
The butter is extracted and refined to create a pure, high-quality product with a smooth, non-greasy texture.
