PLEASE NOTE THAT: Our natural butters may melt naturally around 25 to 30 degrees C.

But do not worry! The melting can change the appearance of the product on the surface but will not degrade its properties. Vegetable butters should become solid again within a few hours (or sometimes days, depending on the butter). We kindly recommend that you store your butters in the fridge in hot weather, and to always keep them in a fresh/cool environment at room temperature otherwise.

Sometimes called the nutmeg of Africa, a teaspoon of Kombo butter is usually incorporated to other oils (coconut oil or shea butter) or creams to soothe rheumatism and arthritis, to regenerate and protect mature skins, stretch marks, skin discoloration, brown spots and other signs of skin aging. 

Kombo butter is also used traditionally in hair care to fight dandruff, hair loss and to make sanitizing and deodorant body soaps
