What is kokum butter?
Kokum is cultivated around the western coast of Maharashtra and Goa based on the ‘Silviculture’ cultivation. Kokum butter is drawn out from the fruit kernel of the kokum tree scientifically known as garcinia Indica. This fruit-bearing tree belongs to the family of wild mangosteen. It is made by processing the kokum oil extracted from the seeds.
Did you know?
Kokum butter formation is more firm and crumbly due to the uniform composition of triglyceride and 80% stearic-oleic-stearic (SOS). It is the most stable butter which remains solid even at room temperature.
Benefits of Kokum butter for skin
Skin Cell Regeneration
Due to its emollient properties; the healing agent in Kokum butter penetrates deep inside your skin and heals the skin from inside. Also, it’s anti-inflammatory property helps to reduce and prevent the inflammation by enhancing our skin barrier.
Dehydration
Kokum acts as a natural moisturizer and prevents the skin from getting dehydrated. It gets easily absorbed and locks the moisture inside your skin, and also keeps it hydrated all day long.

Every time you step outside, your skin gets exposed to the toxic environment. Kokum helps you protect your skin against free radicals as it is rich in vitamin E. It also boosts the immune system, enhances skin texture and regenerates the cells.

The moisturizing property of Kokum butter locks the skin moisture and restores softness and elasticity of your skin. The antioxidants present shield your skin against environmental damage and reduce the fine lines and wrinkles.

It is non-comedogenic, and hence it doesn’t clog pores which is the main contributor to acne-causing bacteria. Thanks to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of Kokum, it clears the bacteria and soothes the skin.
Source
Garcinia Indica trees or simply “Kokum” (pronounced: Ko-kam) trees grow around the western coast of Maharashtra & Goa in India. Low scale ‘silviculture’ based cultivation of Kokum happens along this scenic coast and is mostly restricted to the hilly areas. The Kokum seeds are extracted from Kokum fruits that mainly are grown through nursery practices.
Properties
Raw Kokum butter is unprocessed and unrefined, and is known for its brownish colour. Its smell isn’t aromatic and that acts as proof of its purity. It is far superior than cosmetic grade kokum butter when it comes to the quality. It is a stable vegetable butter that stays hard in room temperatures. But the moment it touches the human skin, it melts for smooth application and absorption. Its triglyceride composition is uniform, and consists of up to 80% of stearic-oleic-stearic (SOS) triglycerides.
Benefits
Kokum butter is a great healer of skin and has a homogeneous composition of triglycerides. Fatty acid levels are low, indicating an absence of any powerful lipolytic activity. A lot of cosmetic formulations use kokum butter, that is for external use only. These healing tricks have been picked up from age-old practices that are prevalent in local communities.
Packaging
The packaging is done in a beautiful jar that meets all quality standards.

How to use kokum butter for DIY recipes?
A. Make Cold Process Soap
Due to the firmness of kokum butter, it can be used as a soap. For this, use only 5% of kokum butter into the ingredients with your favorite essential oil. Using the exact concentration will ensure that it does not lose any of its benefits. You can add some botanical ingredients as per your need.
B. Treat your scalp
It is a recommended remedy for your scalp treatment; it also promotes hair growth. Kokum butter is used for nourishing your hair follicles with essential nutrients and restore your hair quality. Blend your kokum butter with camellia and coconut oil for better results.
C. Use as Lotion/Conditioner
Kokum butter can be used as lotion and conditioner as it contains high stearic acid concentration. Rich in fatty acids essential for our body, it provides the right amount of nourishment when used up to 1-3% with oils and moisturizers.
D. Prepare Balms
Kokum butter is safe to apply directly to the skin, and it is a great choice for using as a body and lip balm. For making the texture soft, an equal amount of wax, butter and oil mixture would work.
E. Use as a Body Butter
Because of its firmness, it is too thick to use as a body butter. To make body butter, kokum butter needs to be melted and wiped with apricot or jojoba oil that makes it easy to apply and provides more benefits to the skin.
F. Use as Scrub
Due to its thickness, an exfoliating agent can’t be mixed. To make an exfoliating scrub for daily use, you can incorporate an exfoliating oil to make it a moisturizing scrub that will be gentle enough for everyday use.
G. Bath Bombs
Kokum is enriched with the nutritional ingredient that is beneficial for our skin when released from a bath bomb. To make a bath bomb use 0.5 oz of butter per 1.5 cups of the fizzy mixture. Kokum butter will also help you to hold your bath bombs together.
