Ingredient
Kokum Butter
Garcinia indica
Benefits
Natural
Kokum butter is very stable and solid, but melts quickly when it comes into contact with skin. This makes it ideal when creating moisturizing self-preserving cosmetics.
The kokum tree grows mainly in Western India. Kokums look like purple tomatoes topped with a green star-shaped tail. The fruit's tender white pulp, protected by a hard outer layer, contains oil-rich seeds that can be pressed to obtain the edible kokum butter.
