KOMBO BUTTER

Our kombo butter is:
    • pure
    • unbleached
    • non-deodorised
    • contains no additives
    • natural source of cetyl myristoleate for pain relief
Cetyl myristoleate is the cetyl ester of myristoleic acid. It has multiple biological properties, including as an anti-inflammatory and a pain reliever, as well as being an immune system modulator. It works in a natural manner by acting at the precise location of joint inflammation. 

Although unrefined kombo butter can be used on its own, it can be quite strong on sensitive/broken skin. It is a slightly dry butter so best mixed with another oil/butter.

  • Shea butter contains cinnamic acid which together with kombo butter would be quite effective.
  • Cocoa butter is quite hard so might be more suited if you are in a very warm place
  • Mango butter for less greasy feel.
  • Coconut oil for spread-ability

Pressed from the "African nutmeg" pure unrefined kombo butter is dark in colour with a nutty/earthy/smokey scent. The seeds are harvested between December and April and the butter is prized for its anti-inflammatory properties.
The "waste" after the oil has been pressed from the seeds is used as fire lighters and also as natural fertilizer.
We import this directly from Ghana.
