GARCINIA INDICA

KOKUM SEED BUTTER

Derived from the seeds of the Garcinia indica tree, native to the Western Ghats region of India, Kokum Seed Butter is a prized emollient with a rich history in Ayurvedic medicine. The kokum tree bears purple, berry-like fruits, and its seeds are the source of this nourishing butter. Traditionally, the indigenous communities of India have employed kokum in various forms, both for culinary delights and its therapeutic attributes. Kokum Seed Butter is rich in essential fatty acids, particularly oleic acid and stearic acid, which makes it an excellent skin conditioner. Holistically, it's revered for its healing, regenerative, and moisturizing properties. When it comes to skincare benefits, Kokum Seed Butter is a powerhouse. It possesses natural emollient qualities that get readily absorbed into the skin, ensuring deep hydration without clogging pores. Its antioxidant properties help combat free radical damage, thus assisting in preventing premature aging. Moreover, the butter aids in regenerating skin cells, promoting elasticity, and offering relief to damaged or sensitive skin. Its anti-inflammatory nature also makes it an effective remedy for dry, cracked skin, and conditions like eczema and psoriasis. In contemporary skincare, Kokum Seed Butter is often incorporated into creams, lotions, lip balms, and body butters, owing to its non-greasy, hydrating, and restorative benefits.
