Kokum Butter - 100% Pure & Natural

La kokum butter, obtained from the seeds of the tree garcinia indica (Garcinia indica Seed Butter), is a 100% natural product native to the tropical regions of India.
Kokum butter usually has a light gray or pale yellow tint and predominantly contains a type of saturated fat known as stearic acid. The chemical structure of the fat allows kokum butter to remain solid at room temperature, which is why it is typically called butter rather than oil. Unlike many other types of vegetable butters, the texture of kokum butter in its natural form is very hard but melts easily when applied to the skin. Although it can be used alone, kokum butter is often blended with other types of oils in the production of cosmetic products or vegetable butters to create a more spreadable consistency.
