MANGO BUTTER.

Mango butter is a butter extracted from the mango seed (pit). It’s similar to cocoa butter or shea butter in that it’s often used in body care products as an emollient base. It’s moisturizing without being greasy and has a very mild odor (which makes it easy to scent with essential oils!).

Mango butter exhibits excellent moisturizing properties and has an especially high content of oleic and stearic acids making it comparable to cocoa butter in occlusive (moisture sealing) properties. It’s softer than cocoa butter which makes it easier to work with.

Mango butter is rich in nutrients that replenish hair and skin health and make them soft and smooth. This butter contains:

• Vitamin A
• Lots of vitamin C
• Vitamin E

Mango butter also contains other antioxidants as well as essential fatty acids. These essential fatty acids include:

• palmitic acid
• arachidic acid
• linoleic acid
• oleic acid
• stearic acid

All of these nutrients make mango butter such a great moisturizer for hair and skin. Just as nutrients help the body on the inside, nutrients like the ones present in mango butter help boost hair and skin health when used externally.

• Acne – Mango butter is a great moisturizer for acne-prone skin since it won’t clog pores and has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.
• Lip balm – Use mango butter in place of shea butter or cocoa butter in lip balm recipes. Mango butter is very moisturizing, so it’s perfect for sunburnt or chapped lips.
• Scars – Use pure mango butter or a butter containing mango butter on scars to help improve the look of the scar. I’ve noticed that this helps with fresh scars that aren’t fading as quickly as I’d like.
• Fine lines – Many people find that mango butter helps improve fine lines on the face.
• Stretch marks – Mango butter may also be helpful for stretch  marks  from  pregnancy  or otherwise. Just rub some mango butter onto the skin daily.
• Hair – use mango butter to smooth frizzy hair. Mango butter can also help with dandruff and other skin or scalp issues.
• Face moisturizer – Mango butter is a great face moisturizer.
