Kokum Stearin.
The non-palm CBE, built from one coast.

We do not sell commodity butters. We press, fractionate, and ship a narrow line of editorial-grade lipids from western India — six single-origin butters and seven engineered fractions, anchored by our flagship Kokum Stearin, a cocoa butter equivalent with 55–65% stearic and a 42–46°C melt. Two tracks from one coast: cosmetic-grade for formulators leaving palm, food-grade for chocolatiers tired of the cocoa ceiling.

Two tracks from one coast

One plant. Two disciplines.

Every butter we make begins at the same cold press. From crude oil onward, the line divides. One track serves formulators under cosmetic-grade discipline. The other serves chocolatiers under food-grade discipline. Both are single-origin. Both are palm-free. Both are traceable to the harvest week.

Track A

Cosmetic-grade

For formulators, procurement teams, and prestige houses leaving palm.

Allergen control · Facility statement

This facility is peanut-free. Tree-nut-free beyond our named sources. Soy-free. Sesame-free. Gluten-free. Dairy-free. Egg-free.

We process only tree-borne seed and kernel fats from a defined list — kokum, mango kernel, sal, mahua, dhupa, and imported shea. Every raw-material supplier signs an allergen declaration at onboarding. This is not a marketing claim. It is the line that separates us from a commodity press.
