Kokum Butter
Garcinia Indica Seed ButterBarrier
Indian fruit-seed butter. Hardest of the natural butters; small amounts add structure to balms.
What it does
Kokum butter is harder than shea, mango, or cocoa butter — small amounts contribute structure without making a balm feel heavy. High in stearic acid. Less common in mass-market formulations; more often in natural-positioned balms and lip products. Generally non-comedogenic.
