It is particularly effective as a lightweight sealant for fine or low-porosity hair that is easily weighed down by heavier butters. Does this butter have a scent?Kokum Butter has a very mild, nearly neutral aroma with a faint fatty note. This makes it an excellent base for fragranced formulations, as it will not compete with added essential oils or fragrance blends. Is this suitable for DIY formulations?Absolutely.
