Elevate your artisanal formulations with Pure Kokum Butter, a premium plant-based butter sourced from the seeds of the Garcinia indica tree, native to the lush Western Ghats of India. Renowned for its exceptional stability and unique “dry” texture, Kokum butter is a favorite among professional formulators who want the intensive nourishment of a butter without the heavy, greasy feel. Its high melting point and rich fatty acid profile make it a “holy grail” ingredient for creating firm balms, silky lotions, and high-performance hair treatments.
