Kokum butter is derived from the Garcina Indica tree whose pulp was for many years used as an ingredient in several recipes. It is a stable vegetable butter which remains in a solid state at room temperature, but immediately it comes in contact with the skin, it melts. It is non-greasy and easily gets absorbed into the skin once it is applied. The smooth and dense texture makes it suitable for cosmetic, toiletry, beauty and confectionary applications. It does not have a peculiar smell but works on the skin in excellent ways. Because it is a hard butter, it can feel a lot like cocoa butter but it’s harder and flakier with emollient properties which gives it its high oxidative stability. People often substitute one for the other because they both have uniform triglyceride composition. It is important to note that Kokum butter is a tad dry, it is best to use this butter in combination with other oils and/or butters to make it more pliable and easy to use. Most conventional drug store beauty products especially lip balm, body lotions and soaps make use of Kokum butter as the main ingredient because of its many desirable qualities. This wonder butter can be used for a wide variety of beauty and cosmetic needs
