Garcinia Indica (Kokum) Seed Butter
Garcinia Indica Seed Butter, commonly known as Kokum butter, originates from the seeds of the Garcinia Indica tree, native to the Western Ghats region of India. Its claim to fame is its remarkable ability to deeply nourish and hydrate the skin without leaving a greasy residue. This butter is particularly well-suited for people with sensitive or acne-prone skin as it will not clog pores.
As if that is not enough, Kokum butter is also rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids, so it helps to promote skin elasticity, improve firmness, and could help with signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles. Kokum butter's anti-inflammatory properties also make it effective in soothing and calming irritated or inflamed skin conditions like eczema and dermatitis. Further, it has a high content of stearic acid, meaning you get a protective barrier on your skin, preventing moisture loss for longer.
