Kokum Butter
A Non-Comedogenic Butter for Skin Balance
Kokum Butter, Garcinia indica, derived from the seeds of the Garcinia indica tree native to India, is a highly prized natural butter known for its purity and versatility. Traditionally used in Ayurvedic and Indian skincare to soften rough skin and restore elasticity, kokum butter remains a favorite ingredient in modern natural formulations.
This firm, ivory-colored butter is rich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids that help nourish and protect dry, damaged, or sensitive skin. Non-comedogenic and lightweight, kokum butter absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy film and is a good choice for acne-prone and oily skin types.
It’s an excellent emollient for soothing dry, chapped, or calloused areas like elbows, knees, and heels, and may also help improve the appearance of scars and stretch marks.
Because of its hard texture and healing properties, kokum butter is a wonderful addition to balms, creams, and body butters designed for deep hydration. Suitable for sensitive skin, it helps reinforce the skin’s natural hydration while leaving skin soft, supple, and comfortable.
In hair care, kokum butter’s rich antioxidants and emollient properties help nourish the scalp, smooth damaged strands, and promote softness and shine. It’s especially beneficial in scalp treatments and conditioning formulas, where it supports strong roots, reduces breakage, and helps restore luster to dry or brittle hair.
Gentle, stable, and deeply conditioning, kokum butter is a beautiful choice for both skin and hair that need soothing, replenishing care.
