Mohwa butter, also known as Mowrah butter, is made from the seeds of the Indian native tree "Madhuca latifolia and Madhuca longifolia", also known as the Indian butter tree. The fat, which is solid at room temperature, melts at body temperature and can thus be pleasantly spread on the surface of the skin.
