Holistic nourishing benefits of a natural ingredient: Already a common ingredient which is widely recognized, kokum butter is often found in pharmaceutical cosmetic products. This is due to its Vitamin-E rich composition that makes it a great base for skin and hair care products.
Sustainable Sourcing: We have been working with millions of local women cooperatives and have collaborated with Self help groups to uplift their livelihoods.

These women hand-collect the kokum from the forest. They take out the pulp for their own consumption and dry the seed in the sun to reduce moisture and prevent rancidity; keeping the ingredient hygienic. And finally, the kokum seeds reach our production facility for extraction of their nourishing oil.

Manorama also provides training to the cooperatives on harvesting methods. We help protect India’s kokum trees while providing a sustainable source of income. During harvesting season, these women carry 10-20kg of kokum every day.

Naturally produced. Efficiently processed.: We have 40+ years of experience in creating an established system that goes from procurement to processing of the natural ingredients used in making our kokum butter.

Also known as ‘Goa butter’, Kokum butter is obtained from the Garcinia Indica tree that is commonly found in the western coastal regions of southern India. Kokum is widely recognized as a natural edible oil that is used in preparation of food. However, kokum butter is a balanced botanical output that is suitable to be an addition to your creams, body lotions and bath products.
