Interesting name kokum. Google searching it we discover it comes from the evergreen forests of India. Garcinia indica lives closely to the edges of these forest watersheds. Used in the production of confectionery treats. It has found a home in the diet pill section of many gas stations. It's natural ability to give one's self a feeling of fullness with out eating is mesmerizing.
Moving on to soaps it's a very hard butter. I'd put it alongside bees wax for a firm long lasting bar. Put in chapstick have fun with flavoring it you are after all applying desert. Body butters, well personally I'm not hungry for my midnight snack. Applying this one ingredient to my recipes has been an adventure.
