What Is Mango Butter?

Mango butter comes from the seeds of the mango tree. Native to South Asia, mango trees are now grown in various tropical locations around the world.

Though we enjoy the flesh of a mango as a healthy treat, the seed also offers of health benefits. Mango seeds can be powdered, turned into butter and even have their oil extracted, depending on the processing method. The main chemical constituents of Mango Butter are: Oleic Acid, Stearic Acid, Palmitic Acid, Linoleic Acid, Arachidic Acid, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E.

Mango butter has a consistency similar to shea butter. However, Mango butter tends to be lighter and creamier than shea butter. Like Shea Butter, Mango butter contains a high level of antioxidants, fatty acids but Mango butter offers more oleic acid and less stearic acid. Due to the different dynamics, Mango butter will have a less greasy appearance while offering the same moisturizing benefits.

When used topically, Mango Butter’s creamy, long-lasting emollience nourishes skin and boosts its elasticity, thereby reducing the appearance of fine lines and tightening skin for a firmer appearance. Its high vitamin content protects skin against harsh environmental stressors and damage caused by overexposure to harmful UV radiation. Its ability to easily melt on contact with the skin and quick absorption without leaving a greasy residue makes Mango Butter an ideal ingredient in skin and hair care.. Its gentle quality makes it an ideal ingredient in baby moisturizers and products for sensitive skin.
