refined illipe butter in a weight percentage of the mixture of oils and butters of from about 5% to about 15%;

refined kokum butter in a weight percentage of the mixture of oils and butters of from about 10% to about 20%; and

camelina seed oil in a weight percentage of the mixture of oils and butters of from about 1% to about 10%.

5 . The plant-based product of claim 4 , wherein the mixture of oils and butters further comprises refined palm oil in a weight percentage of the mixture of oils and butters of from about 40% to about 50%.

6 . The plant-based product of claim 1 , wherein the mixture of oils and butters further comprises:

myristic acid in a weight percentage of the mixture of oils and butters of from about 1% to about 10%;

palmitoleic acid in a weight percentage of the mixture of oils and butters of from about 1% to about 10%;

arachidic acid in a weight percentage of the mixture of oils and butters of from about 0.1% to about 5%;

eicosenoic acid in a weight percentage of the mixture of oils and butters of from about 0.1% to about 5%; and

behenic acid in a weight percentage of the mixture of oils and butters of from about 0.1% to about 5%.

7 . The plant-based product of claim 4 , wherein the mixture of oils and butters further comprises:

arachidic acid in a weight percentage of the mixture of oils and butters of from about 0.1% to about 5%;

eicosenoic acid in a weight percentage of the mixture of oils and butters of from about 0.1% to about 5%; and
