Color/Scent: light to medium brown with gray speckles with a faint earthy smellPackaging: Bulk Kokum is shipped in blocks of 5kg/aprox. 11lb, packed in cardboard boxes exactly the same way we receive the product from the manufacturer.Natural, Raw & Pure: We work with rural cooperatives in Sindhudurg, Maharashtra, India to produce all natural raw unrefined Kokum Butter extracted solely using physical extraction methods. This method does not involve any chemical solvents! Our Kokum Butter can be safely classified as natural, raw & unrefined Kokum Butter which is left unbleached and non-deodorized.Kokum butter is a “dry butter” - with melting point of 39/40 C (98.6 °F/104°F), has a chalk like texture and, contrary of what is said everywhere, it does NOT melts readily on contact with the skin like Cupuaçu, cocoa butter or Shea butter.If rubbed directly to the skin, the butter crumbles. It does not melt and glide, therefore it is not faster absorbed by the skin, and definitely it is not a butter that can be use by itself directly to the skin as you can do with a softer butter such Cupuaçu butter-like;Products made with high percentage of Kokum butter plus soft oils, leave behind a lovely matte soft finish on the skin;It is very stable due to its high content of Stearic acid (close to 60%), a high melting point, and blends wonderfully with soft to medium soft oils. It is a great addition to lipsticks if you want to use less or none animal ingredient such beeswax.It helps wonders in replacing Stearic acid as the emulsifier in a formulation with the advantage of being not just a filler (like Stearic acid is), but an active ingredient in your formula that actually replaces the emulsifier and improve stability with a lovely luscious silky texture and is good for the skin
