At Afro Cosmetics, we provide 100% pure, unrefined, cold-pressed Kokum Butter sourced from the fruit kernels of the Indian Garcinia indica tree. With its smooth texture, neutral scent, and long shelf life, Kokum Butter is one of the most stable and versatile natural butters available for skincare and beauty formulations.

What Makes Kokum Butter Special?

Kokum Butter is solid at room temperature but melts easily on contact with the skin, creating a soft, non-greasy finish. Known as one of the hardest vegetable butters, it’s prized by formulators for its stability and versatility in a wide range of cosmetic products. Its mild aroma allows it to blend seamlessly with essential oils, fragrances, and other butters.

Key Benefits of Kokum Butter

• Deep Moisture – Smooth texture that melts into skin, providing hydration without heaviness.

• Versatility – A go-to ingredient for soaps, whipped butters, balms, creams, and lotions.

• Stability – Highly resistant to oxidation, giving products a longer shelf life.

• Skin-Friendly Profile – Naturally rich in stearic and oleic acids, making it ideal for soft, balanced formulations.

• Neutral Aroma – Mild, clean scent that won’t overpower your blends.
