🔹 DESCRIPTION

In Ayurveda, care of the skin is seen as an extension of inner balance and daily discipline. Riddhish Herbals Kokum Ghee (Kokum Butter) is prepared from the kernels of the kokum fruit (Garcinia indica), a tropical tree native to India’s Western Ghats. This botanical butter has long been valued in traditional living practices for its nourishing and protective nature.

Kokum Ghee has a naturally high melting point, allowing it to remain firm in warm weather while gliding easily when applied to the skin. Its texture is dense yet light, giving it an exceptional ability to spread easily and absorb quickly without leaving a sticky or heavy layer. This makes it a preferred choice for people who enjoy moisture without oiliness.

Rich in essential fatty acids and Vitamin E, this plant butter helps support the skin’s natural barrier and softness as part of regular self-care. It is widely used as a base for lip balms, lotions and body butters due to its stability and gentle nature. In handcrafted soaps, it is appreciated for improving smoothness and hardness of bars.

Modern lifestyle challenges such as long hours, environmental dryness, and irregular routines can make skin feel uncomfortable or tired. Integrating Kokum Ghee into daily care offers a simple botanical solution grounded in traditional wisdom. Applied after a bath or before bedtime, it can become a calming ritual that supports long-term skin comfort and nourishment.

This product is suitable for individuals who prefer natural, plant-derived, and chemical-free skincare solutions. Whether used on its own or blended with oils, herbs or essential oils, Kokum Ghee complements a mindful Ayurvedic lifestyle focused on prevention, protection and nourishment.

🔹 SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE & REFERENCES

Modern research has explored the fatty acid profile and antioxidant content of kokum butter. Analytical studies have shown that kokum contains stearic and oleic acids, contributing to its structure and skin compatibility [1]. Laboratory evaluations have also examined its oxidative stability, showing resistance to rancidity compared with some other plant butters [2]. Phytochemical assessments have identified polyphenols in kokum rind and seed derivatives, indicating antioxidant potential when used in cosmetic preparations [3].

These observations support kokum butter’s traditional positioning as a stable botanical fat for personal care formulations aligned with wellness-oriented routines rather than pharmacological use [4].
