What Buttery Is this?

Sharing fine grooming goods, made with two hands

Mentega [mun-tay-ga]; “butter” in the Malay language. Mentega started with the idea of making hair products that will perform well in tropical climate and one with significant amount.

Each Mentega product is created with a definitive goal; each with their specific performance traits, allowing the styling process to be intentional and practical. We aim to make grooming products that work, but fundamentally working well within the environment and with the lifestyle of the individual, whether it’s during winter, under dry heat, or in a tropical climate’s humidity.

Made in small batches, every single jar of Mentega is handcrafted and hand-poured.

Years ago, I experimented with crafting a hair product that I’d personally like. After using it alone for so long, tweaking formulas and receiving various feedbacks, I finally released Mentega pomade. Instead of just testing the product for myself, I wanted to the a guinea pig to make sure it’d suit other people’s styling needs too. – Kevin Cottie
