Kokum Butter - Virgin
- In stock, ready to ship
Virgin Unrefined Kokum comes from the Indian Tree/Garcinia India and is a hard yet highly emollient butter with a light, non-greasy texture, and a somewhat earthy aroma. It melts just above body temperature, absorbing readily to provide a light texture to skin and hair while restoring softness and elasticity. Pure kokum butter is up to 80% stearic-oleic-stearic (SOS) triglycerides, making it a perfect choice for dry, cracked, rough, damaged, and calloused skin. This is a highly prized and healing butter that can help revitalize skin cells while supporting elasticity and flexibility. It is rich in essential fatty acids, and vitamin e, and it won’t clog your pores.
Note: When ordering natural butter or oil, it is important to recognize that exposure to elevated temperatures during shipping or processing can affect its texture. In such instances, the butter may become liquefied, but it can be subsequently emulsified and rapidly cooled, resulting in a smoother, more homogeneous consistency upon solidification. Additionally, a white film may appear on the top layer. That is normal and is referred to as fat blossom. It is a thin layer of separated fats from the product.
Additional Details
Like cocoa butter, Virgin Kokum has a high melting point and uniform triglyceride composition, so one can be easily substituted in skincare recipes. It is best to use this butter with other oils and butter to lower the melting point and make it easier to use.
Note: Anyone with a nut allergy should not use this product.
