The main ingredient of this homemade body lotion is Kokum butter. Kokum butter is native to India where it is well-known for its healing properties. This butter is one of my favorite ingredients for body lotions as it is readily absorbed in the skin. Thanks to its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, Kokum butter fights infections, promotes healthy skin cells, and helps relieve pain from arthritis. It also shows excellent results when applied to chapped lips, cracked feet, dry hands, or dry and scaly skin.
