Mango Butter oil
Mango Butter Oil is a natural fat extracted from the kernel of the mango fruit (Mangifera indica). It is a creamy, pale-yellow butter with a mild, sweet, nutty aroma. Rich in fatty acids like oleic, stearic, and linoleic acids, Mango Butter Oil is prized for its excellent moisturizing, emollient, and skin conditioning properties. It is widely used in cosmetics, personal care, and therapeutic products to nourish and soften skin and hair.
Mango Butter Oil absorbs easily without leaving a greasy residue and helps restore skin elasticity, making it popular in lotions, creams, lip balms, and hair care formulations. It also acts as a natural alternative to synthetic emollients and petroleum-based butters.
