Kokum Butter
Deeply Moisturizing and Non-Greasy
Kokum Butter is a firm, non-greasy butter that provides intense hydration without clogging pores. Known for its high content of stearic acid, Kokum Butter delivers excellent emollient properties that soften and nourish the skin, making it feel smooth and supple.
Skin Elasticity and Protection
This butter is known for promoting skin elasticity, helping to prevent signs of aging and environmental stress. It creates a light barrier on the skin’s surface, sealing in moisture and enhancing the skin’s natural resilience, making it ideal for dry and sensitive skin.
Versatile and Vegan-Friendly
Kokum Butter is a versatile alternative to Cocoa Butter in vegan-friendly formulations. Its relatively high melting point allows it to work well in solid products like lip balms, bar soaps, and lotion bars, giving them structure and stability.
DESCRIPTION

With its firm, creamy consistency and mild, neutral scent, Kokum Butter is an ideal choice for a range of skincare and body care products. It’s highly prized for its non-greasy feel and its ability to melt into the skin upon application, providing a smooth, nourishing layer that keeps skin hydrated and healthy-looking.
