Plant Guru Raw Kokum Butter is a 100% pure, natural, and cold-pressed product sourced from the seeds of the Garcinia indica tree. This 16 oz. (1 lb.) unrefined butter retains its natural nutrients through a gentle extraction process that avoids heat or chemical solvents. The butter has a firm, yet slightly crumbly texture at room temperature and melts easily upon contact with skin, making it suitable for a variety of personal care applications.

Kokum butter is valued for its high concentration of beneficial fatty acids, including stearic and oleic acids, which help support the skin’s moisture barrier without leaving a greasy residue. It is particularly well-suited for individuals with dry or sensitive skin, as it provides lightweight hydration and absorbs quickly. The butter can be used as a standalone moisturizer for skin, body, and hair, or incorporated into DIY formulations such as creams, balms, lotions, and soaps. Its neutral scent and stable shelf life make it a versatile base ingredient for homemade cosmetic products.

This product is free from additives, preservatives, and synthetic fragrances, appealing to those who prefer minimally processed ingredients. The cold-pressed method helps preserve the natural antioxidants and vitamins present in the raw butter. While suitable for many skin types, including oily and combination skin, it is important to note that individual reactions may vary. The butter’s natural composition allows it to complement other carrier oils and essential oils in custom blends. As a raw ingredient, it does not contain added emulsifiers or preservatives, so finished products should be stored appropriately and used within a reasonable timeframe. This Kokum butter is available in a bulk 1 lb. size, offering a practical option for regular use or small-scale production.
