Description
Refined Kokum Butter – Firm, Stable & Deeply Moisturizing
Our Refined Kokum Butter is a hard, odourless butter extracted from the seeds of the Garcinia indica (kokum) tree and gently refined to remove impurities while preserving its deeply moisturizing and skin-nourishing properties. Naturally rich in antioxidants and emollient compounds, Kokum Butter is highly valued for its firmness, non-greasy texture, and ability to enhance the stability of cosmetic formulations—making it an essential ingredient in a wide range of solid and long-wearing handmade products.
🌿 Common Uses in Handmade Products:
Refined Kokum Butter is especially favored for products that require structure and longevity. In body butters and balms (20–50%), it acts as a primary firming agent, delivering rich moisture and a smooth, stable texture. When added to lotions and creams (5–15%), it improves texture and consistency without leaving a greasy residue. In lip balms (10–30%), it creates a firm yet smooth application with excellent protective qualities. In soap formulations (3–8%), it contributes to bar hardness while improving conditioning properties. Massage bars (15–40%) benefit from its slow-melting nature, offering a long-lasting glide ideal for massage or body application.
