Kokum butter usually has a light gray or pale yellow tint and predominantly comprises a type of saturated fat known as stearic acid. the chemical structure of the fat allows kokum butter to remain solid at room temperature hence why it's typically referred to as a butter instead of an oil.


Kokum butter is edible and occasionally used to make chocolates and other confections. however, it's most popularly used as an ingredient in topical cosmetic and personal care products, including makeup, lotions, soaps, balms, and salves.
