User questions & answers

Question:	Is this grade A
Answer:	Do you understand what Grade A means, truly? The American Shea Butter Institute is a private institution that offers shea butter testing at $600/batch, and they have created an arbitrary Grades classification that ranges from Grade A which they call "premium" to Grade F, defined as "shea moisturizer". While we do respect their purpose and activities, we have chosen to keep things simple and follow standard FDA and USDA regulations in selling cosmetic ingredients.All our products, including shea butter, are tested by an independent lab (not the Shea Butter institute) on a regular basis and at a fraction of the cost, thus allowing us to offer premium quality butters and oils at a reasonable price. We are proud of our high quality shea butter, you should give it a try and if you are not 100% satisfied you can return the item for a full refund.
Question:	I thought IVORY shea was REFINED. How can this be UNREFINED if it's IVORY in color? Pls inform me as I need to be certain. Thank you
Answer:	there are many sources out there saying WHITE is the real unrefined or that YELLOW is, the truth is that out there, there is both yellow and ivory(white) shea butter that are 100 percent raw/organic/unrefined (REAL) it just matters if it came from the east or west part of africa, i think its from the west it is yellow and from the east it is the whiter color, the reason for this is because of the nut that its came from differs in color depending on what part of africa. With that said you can still have a fake product that isnt 100 percent unrefined or truly real shea butter even if its the color you think it should be. Although I honestly believe this product is legit, and one of the few real ones on amazon.
Question:	How does this come packaged? I'm okay with some melting...but don't want it melted out of the package on the front porch
Answer:	Mine arrived today totally liquified. The inner bag had leaked and a very small amount seeped through the outer packaging. It was nearly a hundred here so if you live in a hot climate, I'd wait to order it until cooler weather arrives. It hardened once I put the unopened bag in the refrigerator and I think it will work fine
Question:	how do you whip this shea butter with coconut oil - what do you use to whip it, a food processor
Answer:	I use a wire whisk. I have a hand blender with a whisk attachment. I live is Florida so my coconut oil is practically liquid. And I put the shea butter outside in sun to soften so I can get it out of the bag, but not melted. , then add essential oils and I'm done

Villagers harvest the fruits, separate them from the nut, then boil and let the butter float to the surface. The butter is then milled, filtered for impurities, packaged in huge blocks, loaded on large boats, and shipped to our facility in Austin, TX for manufacturing and final packaging.

ABOUT KOKUM

Kokum butter is a hard butter that contains nutrients and antioxidants which help nourish and repair damaged, cracked skin. It is naturally flaky and brittle when at room temperature making it popular for its stability. Once it comes into contact with your skin it melts and absorbs easily leaving it feeling soft and moist without a greasy residue.

Kokum Butter can be used on its own though it is more popular as an ingredient and thickener in lotions, soaps and body butters. Kokum is a vegan butter and is safe for all skin types.

BENEFITS OF KOKUM

• Ultra-moisturizing, helps rejuvenate and soften skin
• Anti-Inflammatory - helps heal damaged lips, hands and skin
• Non-comedogenic - will not clog pores, so it's great for acne prone skin
• Anti-oxidant properties like Vitamin E that nourishes and helps slow aging
• Helps repair damaged or cracked skin

ORIGIN

Kokum butter comes from the seeds of the Kokum tree (Garcinia indica) and is indigenous to the tropical rain forests of the Western Ghats of South India. Kokum was used in the practice of Ayurvedic medicine, one of the world's oldest holistic healing systems, and has been cited in many Ayurvedic texts including Charak Samhita, Dravya Gun Vijnana and more. Kokum was commonly prescribed for the treatment of inflammation, ear infections, dermatitis, and to soothe irritable bowel syndrome and more.

WHO IT'S FOR

Kokum Butter would be perfect for anybody making lipsticks, balms, soaps & lotions as it has excellent emollient properties and a high melting point which helps keep it from melting as fast in hot weather.

GLITTER LOTION BARS

Melt 3.5 oz of Kokum Butter in a double boiler on low heat.

Stir in 1 oz of Jojoba Oil.

Remove from the heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of gold mica.

Let cool for about 15 minutes and then add 40 drops of your choice of essential oils and stir.

Then pour into your molds and place in the fridge for an hour or until they are solid.

Remove from the molds and they are ready.

CHAMOMILE WHIPPED BUTTER

Pour 6 oz of Jojoba oil over 2 cups of dry Chamomile flowers in a large mason jar with a lid. Make sure the oil fully covers the flowers.

Place the mason jar in a double boiler on low heat for about 4 hours. Stir the contents occasionally.

Remove from the heat and strain out the flowers.

Now melt 1 oz of Kokum Butter and 2 oz of Mango Butter in a double boiler

Remove from the heat and add 3 oz of the infused oil, and add additional optional essential oils of choice. Mix until fully combined.

Cover and place in a fridge until it's firm, but not completely solid.

Then whip until the mixture is nice and fluffy and scoop the whipped butter into a jar for storage.

KOKUM BUTTER SOAPS

You can use Kokum Butter in any of your usual cold-process soap recipes in place of Cocoa Butter for a luscious soap that lathers beautifully.

We recommend using up to 5% of Kokum Butter as using more will create a soap that is too hard and could cause cracking.
