Kokum butter is a rich, nourishing butter derived from the seeds of the kokum tree (Garcinia indica), native to India. It's well-loved in aromatherapy and skincare for its non-greasy texture and powerful moisturizing properties, ideal for soothing dry and sensitive skin. Kokum butter is firm at room temperature but melts on contact with the skin, making it easy to blend into creams, lotions, balms, and even lip care products.
With a naturally mild scent, it’s perfect for pairing with essential oils, enhancing body butters or massage blends, and providing a smooth, velvety feel to the skin. Kokum butter is also known for its stability and long shelf life, which makes it a popular choice in natural skincare formulations.
