Kokum butter is a rich, natural plant butter obtained from the seeds of the kokum fruit (Garcinia indica), traditionally associated with the Western Ghats of India. It has a firm texture at room temperature and melts smoothly when applied to the skin, making it a popular ingredient in natural skincare, body butters, lip balms, creams, lotions, and hair-care formulations. Kokum butter is known for its moisturizing and conditioning properties and can help leave skin feeling soft, smooth, and nourished without an overly greasy finish. Its stable texture also makes it useful for creating rich, protective cosmetic formulations.
