Kokum Bater 10 g

A dense plant butter for skin recovery available in a small trial size

Kokum butter comes from the seeds of the Garcinia indica tree, native to southern India and Sri Lanka. This dense plant fat stands out for its strong resistance to oxidation and firm texture that stays stable even at room temperature in warm climates. That is why it is widely used in balms, lip care sticks, body bars and formulas aimed at dry, dehydrated skin. The 10 gram size is a practical choice for testing the ingredient before scaling up a formula, for home crafters preparing small trial batches, and for cosmetic developers who want to check how the fat behaves in a specific recipe before ordering larger quantities. This item belongs to the butters category, which brings together dense plant fats used in skin care, hair care and color cosmetics.

Across global markets kokum butter is valued for supporting the skin barrier, softening rough patches on elbows, heels and knees, and for its role in formulas designed to prevent skin cracking in cold weather. In pharmaceutical and dermo-cosmetic production it appears in hand balms and protective ointments, in perfumery it serves as a base for solid perfumes, and in candle making it raises the density and melting point of the finished product. Because it holds its shape well, kokum butter is a frequent choice for stress-relief sticks, solid hair conditioners and massage bars, with soap making remaining only a minor, occasional use case rather than the main focus.

The recommended step for adding kokum butter is the oil phase, melted at around 45 to 50 degrees Celsius together with other oils and waxes. It blends well with lighter, more fluid oils such as unrefined bay laurel oil, which brings lightness and a distinctive scent to the formula, and with argan butter, which boosts the nourishing and regenerating properties of the blend. For a softer final texture, kokum butter is often paired with unrefined shea butter, which reduces the firmness of kokum and makes the mass easier to apply.

A typical dosage in cosmetic formulas ranges from 5 to 20 percent of the total oil phase, depending on the desired firmness of the finished product. Store the butter in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight, in a tightly closed container, at a temperature not exceeding 20 to 25 degrees Celsius, to keep the product stable for its full shelf life.
