MANGO BUTTER (Unrefined)

The mango seed can be formed into a powder, oil, or butter, depending on how it’s processed. Typically, the butter is cold-pressed from the seeds and is said to be similar to cocoa and shea butter, in that it’s moisturizing without being greasy.
The mango comes from a tropical fruit tree (the Mangifera) native to South Asia. However, the trees are cultivated in many locations for their fruits, including India, China, Brazil, and Mexico. They grow up to be 130 feet tall with evergreen leaves and small white flowers. The fruit ripens in the summertime and is usually a variety of white-yellow-orange colors with a single flat pit that houses a single seed.
Beyond being a fantastic skincare ingredient, mango butter is sometimes used in cooking as an alternative to regular butter and baking recipes.

BENEFITS
Promotes collagen production: Because it’s rich in vitamin C, mango butter can help encourage collagen production, which helps give skin its shape and strength. Adequate collagen promotes a firmer appearance on the skin, reducing the look of sagging and bagging.
Natural source of vitamin A: Vitamin A is a natural ingredient that encourages healthy cell production and turnover. Since mango butter is a natural source of vitamin A, it stimulates the cells responsible for keeping skin firm, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, and increasing skin’s overall youthful look.
Fades scars: Stretch marks, acne scars, and other old scars become more pliable and less noticeable when exposed to all the goodies in mango butter—moisturizers, antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, and skin regenerators.
Treats dry skin: Dry patches, flakiness, eczema, and dermatitis flare-ups, and even psoriasis can benefit from daily application of mango butter, which goes to work profoundly moisturizing and repairing damaged skin. Oh, and don’t forget your lips—mango butter works great as a lip balm.
Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles: Mango butter provides a more lasting type of moisturization, which can help prevent the formation of fine lines and creases down the line. It also helps reduce the degeneration of skin cells, preventing that damaging process that leads to wrinkles in the first place.
Protects from sun damage: Remember that ability to protect from radiation that we mentioned above? A great perk with mango butter—when you apply it to your skin, you carry around an extra bit of protection from sun damage. It doesn’t mean you shouldn’t wear sun protection.
Soothes a sunburn: Yep, you can use it both before and after sun exposure, as mango butter helps soothe and heal sunburned skin.
Calms insect bites and poison ivy: If you got bitten or were exposed to poison ivy on your last outing, reach for your mango butter. Its anti-allergy properties can help calm the itching and stinging so your skin can relax.
Treats minor wounds: If you’ve got scrapes, cracks, or other minor wounds, mango butter can help them heal faster.
Unlike additional butter like shea butter and cocoa butter, mango butter has a wound-healing quality.
All this, yet mango butter is gentle on the skin and perfectly suitable for sensitive skin. We suggest you give it a try—and don’t forget that your eyes will love it in our anti-aging eye cream!
