Kokum Body Butter — Whipped Body Butter for Women, Dry Skin

Kokum Body Butter is a whipped body butter for dry skin: kokum butter, unrefined shea butter and coconut oil whipped into a water-based cream, so it melts in on contact and leaves skin soft without a greasy film. It's made for dry, tight skin — especially right after the shower.

What each ingredient does

• Kokum butter — firm in the jar, soft at skin temperature, so it glides on and sinks in rather than smearing.
• Unrefined shea butter — rich in fatty acids that soften rough patches and help slow water loss.
• Glycerin — a humectant, meaning it draws water into the skin's surface layer.
• Olive and coconut oils, aloe and vitamin E — soften and condition; lavender oil is part of the scent.

Because it's water-based, it feels whipped rather than waxy — and it's formulated at pH 4.5–5.5, close to the slightly acidic surface of healthy skin.

How to use it

1. After a warm shower, pat skin until it's just damp.
2. Warm a small scoop between your palms.
3. Massage in circles until absorbed. Elbows, knees and heels can take a second layer.

Why damp skin? Glycerin grabs the water already on your skin, and the butters hold it there.

Size and what to expect

8 oz / 226 g jar. Skin feels soft right away; for rough, dry patches, give it a week of daily use. Contains coconut oil and phthalate-free fragrance.
