Pressed from the "African nutmeg" unrefined kombo butter is dark in colour. 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 and highly recommend it in massage bars

The 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 not as well known as glucosamine and/or chondroitin, there is a growing awareness that CM8 equals or surpasses them in the treatment of the body pains brought on by various maladies such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and sports related injuries.
