Kokum Butter

Kokum Butter is rich in essential fatty acids, which aid in cell oxygenation and make nutrients more readily available for use by skin tissues. Kokum Butter contains antioxidant vitamin E and helps to regenerate tired and worn skin cells, supports skin elasticity and general flexibility of the skin wall.

Kokum Butter comes from the fruits of the Garcinia Indica Tree in India. The fruit kernels produced by this tree yields an emollient white butter. Kokum Butter is often used as a substitute for Cocoa Butter due to its uniform triglyceride composition. It melts when it comes into contact with the skin. It’s commonly used in lotions, creams and body butters, as well as soaps, cosmetics and toiletries.
