Description: Mango butter is a new ingredient introduced into the cosmetic industry. Mango, Mangifera indica is one of the most important and widely cultivated fruits. Each fruit has a large flat seed. Mango butter is the soft fat extracted from the seed. It s free from pesticides and synthetic anti-oxidants. Mango butter has a luxurious emollient feel. It is an ideal ingredient to use in skin care and sun tan preparation and a super fatting agent in soap. Unlike other butters like shea butter and cocoa butter, mango butter has a wound healing quality. Hence it is used as an application for ulcerations, fissures of the lips, hands and chapped skin etc; and in wounds and sores which are inflamed. Chemically it is mainly composed of glycerides of oleic and stearic acids.
Recommendations:
Lotions and Creams: Try adding 3 - 5 % of Mango Butter
Balms: Depending on the thickness and consistency you wish your balm to be, we recommend that you experiment with the butter. The percentage of mango used in balms varies between 10 - 100 %.
Conditioners: 2 - 5 % be added. Do not exceed this percentage, as the product will be too heavy and oily for use on the hair.
Soaps: In soap manufacturing, try adding 2 -6 % of Mango butter to your formulation to add rich moisturizing qualities to your soap; helping to give a unique and luxurious texture.
