What is Kokum Butter?
Sourced from the seeds of the Garcinia indica tree, native to India, Kokum butter is a naturally refined plant butter known for its firm texture, fast absorption, and deep skin-restoring power. Unlike heavier butters, it melts quickly into the skin without feeling greasy — making it perfect for anyone who wants intensive hydration without the weight.
Why We Love It in Our Scrubs
At Bloom Body Scrubs, we use Kokum butter in select formulas because it’s:
- Ultra-light but deeply hydrating
- Non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores)
- Perfect for healing dry, cracked, or inflamed skin
- Packed with antioxidants and skin-nourishing fatty acids
It gives our scrubs a buttery-rich feel that soothes as it exfoliates — especially on rough areas like knees, elbows, and heels. Browse our full collection of Body Scrubs
Skin Benefits of Kokum Butter
1. Restores and Repairs Dry or Damaged Skin
Kokum butter promotes cell regeneration and supports the skin barrier, helping to smooth cracks, flakiness, and texture.
2. Lightweight, Fast Absorbing Hydration
Unlike cocoa or shea butter, Kokum absorbs quickly, leaving skin soft and velvety, never sticky.
3. Calms Irritation and Inflammation
Naturally anti-inflammatory, it’s great for stressed-out skin or areas prone to sensitivity.
4. Fights Premature Aging
With a high concentration of vitamin E and other antioxidants, Kokum helps reduce signs of aging and protects against environmental stressors.
What Skin Types Benefit Most?
Kokum butter is incredibly versatile — but it shines most for:
- Dry or cracked skin
- Sensitive or acne-prone skin (non-greasy & non-comedogenic)
- Aging or mature skin needing rich hydration without residue
Pro Tip:
Use Kokum-based scrubs on hands and feet at night before bed, then cover with soft socks or gloves. Wake up to baby-smooth skin!
