Garcinia Indica Seed Butter {Kokum Butter}
Kokum Butter
has been obtained from the fruit of the Kokum (Garcinia Indica) or
“Kokam” tree grown in the central east region of India. From its fruit
kernels the butter is extracted and further processed and refined to
obtain a very white butter which has a fairly mild odor, suitable for
cosmetics and toiletries. Kokum Butter exhibits excellent emollient
properties and high oxidative stability, which can assist emulsion
integrity. With its relatively higher melt point, it melts slightly at
skin temperatures making it ideal for lipsticks and balms; it‘s also a
great addition to bar soaps and skin lotions.
