Commonly used in personal care and cosmetic formulations, Craftiviti's Virgin Kokum Butter has a high stearic acid content which will add firming properties to your end product. It also helps thicken products like lotions and conditioners. This hard butter helps prevent the drying of the skin without clogging pores, and has antioxidant properties.

How to Use
Soap Making - Kokum Butter can be used in cold process soap of up to 10%. Because of that high stearic acid content, a larger amount can cause the soap to trace fairly quickly. Can also be added to M&P soap at no more than 1 tablespoon for 1kg.
Lip balm - Substitute shea butter/mango butter with kokum butter at about 5% to your original lip balm recipe. If you add more kokum butter, the lip balm may turn out too hard for your liking so do a small trial test before making a larger batch.
Rich Body Butter - Melt Kokum butter, shea butter and 2 types of carrier oil (ie: avocado oil and Sea Buckthorn oil or Tamanu Oil and jojoba oil) in equal parts. Stir well and add in your own essential oil blend.
