Kombo butter has several properties such as anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, antifungal and antiseptic. It has antioxidants and is used for pain relief. Kombo butter is known for being an immune system modulator and is used in the treatment of the body pains brought on by various maladies such as osteoarthritis, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis and sports-related injuries. It is used in combination with essential oils for aching joints and muscles and for dry or irritated skin conditions. Kombo butter is high in myristoleic acid. Cetyl myristoleate is the cetyl ester of myristoleic acid. The positive effect of this substance on the human body is not known for long. Previously this substance could only be found in certain animals. It is recently discovered it can also be found in kombo butter.

Kombo butter is a ‘dry’ butter. It is not as oily as shea butter when applying to skin and it sinks in very quickly. This is an unrefined natural product. Kombo butter may also appear slightly grainy in parts but this melts away on skin contact. The butter can leave a tiny brown residue in skin creases which disappears after washing.

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.
