Inci: Garcinia Indica Seed ButterA pure, non hydrogenated butter that restores skin elasticity and softens skin. It can be used in place of Cocoa Butter and has a lighter natural odour than Shea Butter. Excellent to use on the scalp as well.PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONA creamy coloured, hard butter with a very mild smell made from the fruit kernels of the Kokum tree that have been expeller pressed and then refined. The texture of the butter is hard and dry whilst being quite granular and crumbly. It melts slowly when in contact with the skin.Kokum Butter is naturally dry and crumbly at room temperature. Do not make the mistake of thinking that it has dried out or “gone off”, as this is just the natural look of the butter. It is a very stable butter but It is best not to melt Kokum in the same way that you would heat Cocoa Butter or Shea Butter. Make scrapings of the butter and add to the cream or lotion when needed. Do not keep it at a high heat other than when making a cream. Often, instead of heating the butter, you can liquefy it with other oils using a stick blender.As it is rich in antioxidants and Vitamin E, it is very resistant to oxidation and going rancid. It contains a good complex of oleic acid, palmitic acid and stearic acid.Its fatty acid content is sufficient to improve the texture of creams and add thickness and texture. It will also improve the emulsion stability a little as well.Use 1% to 100%. Although it is an excellent butter, it is always better when blended with other materials and does not need to be used neat.Use 1% to 3% in creams, lotions and hair conditioners.Use 2% to 5% when making soaps.Use 3% to 20% for body butters Use 5% to 20% when making balms.
