These are general guidelines, and actual usage rates may vary depending on your specific formula and desired texture. We recommend creating small test batches to ensure the final product meets your expectations.

  Used in combination to other oils and butters to add richness without heaviness. Helps improve skin feel and support barrier function.
• Body Butters: 5–20%
  Often combined with softer butters like Shea or oils to balance its firmness while still benefiting from its stability and structure.

  Provides structure and helps prevent melting in warmer temperatures. Often paired with waxes and oils.
• Lotion Bars & Solid Balms: 10–30%
  Adds firmness and contributes to a smooth glide. Works well alongside beeswax and other plant waxes for stability.
• Cold Process Soaps: 5–10% of total oils
  Used to harden the bar and improve conditioning. Keep usage moderate to avoid brittleness.
• Whipped Body Butters: 5–15%
  Adds body and structure while maintaining a whipped, airy texture when combined with softer butters and oils.

INCI: Garcinia Indica (Seed) Butter

Country of Origin: India

CAS # : 68956-68-3

Shelf Life: Kokum Butter Refined should be stored in a sealed, airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to maintain its quality and extend its shelf life. Ideal storage temperatures are between 15°C and 25°C (59°F to 77°F). Exposure to heat can cause the butter to melt and then re-solidify, which may alter texture. If this occurs, simply melt the butter gently, stir thoroughly, and allow it to solidify again in a cool environment. With proper storage, refined Kokum Butter typically has a shelf life of up to three years.
