Description

Mango Butter is native to India, It is obtained from the seed of the mango fruit and is rich in fatty acids, including both oleic and stearic as well as omega-9. Mango Butter does not smell like mangos since it is not derived from the fruit pulp, but from the seed.

Mango butter is extracted from the kernels of the mango, which grows in the tropical climates of the world. Mango butter is a soft butter that has a sweet smell that is commonly used in soap making, skin care, and hair care products. Mango butter is similar to shea and cocoa butters in consistency but differs in fatty acid content.

Mango butter is a tropical product that resembles cocoa butter or jojoba esters in its consistency, yet slightly firmer. However, the fatty acid content of mango butter is slightly different. It has a shelf life of approximately 2 years if properly stored in a cool dark place. It has a slightly sweet and fatty aroma in its natural form, which is reduced when the butter is refined. It generally has a creamy yellowish color and hardens at room temperature, but will usually liquefy upon contact with the skin and subsequently be easily absorbed, leaving a silky satiny smooth and greaseless protective layer.
