Kokum Butter - India's butter for skin

The green skincare movement has been taking over the world, and people worldwide have participated by using natural ingredients to treat their skin and hair issues. Kokum Butter is one of those natural substances that has made its way back into the skincare market, and we’re not surprised why!

Kokum Butter and oil are extracted from the fruit kernels of the Kokum Tree (Garcinia Indica). This tree , indigenious to India, has its roots mainly in the Western Ghats of India. The locals handpick and open the fruit from the trees. These “pickers” then collect the seeds and fruit. The Kokum butter is from the seeds of the fruit. It is a fine emollient butter that restores skin’s moisture content, promotes regeneration of the skin cells,  and is a wholesome way of nourishing dry skin, scalp, hair, and cracked lips. On application, it melts onto the skin and gets absorbed easily, without leaving a sticky or greasy residue.
