Description: Mango butter is a new ingredient introduced into the cosmetic industry. Cold pressed, refined and rendered from the seed kernel of the Mango tree, this highly prized butter is an exceptional quality base ingredient for body care products and soap making recipes. Mango Butter has beneficial moisturising properties for lotions and acts as a mild lubricant for the skin, and is very similar in colour and texture as cocoa butter making it an exotic and fun alternative for toiletry products. Great source of essential fatty acids. 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 and 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.
Botanical Name: Mangifera indica
Recommended Usage: It is oil soluble (not water soluble) and is usually incorporated via the oil phase when preparing emulsions. It has no known incompatibilities.
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.

Siobhan Duncan –
I bought this after a bit of research to replace almond oil in my skin and hair care routine. A life long eczema sufferer, I was brought up using coconut oil for everything but my hair doesn’t like it and I find it sits on the skin too much. I switched to almond oil as already in liquid form as a pre- shampoo and pre-shower skin treatment but lately my eczema has flared and almond oil wasn’t cutting it so I took a chance and ordered some mango butter. After using direct from the pot the butter melts easily in the hand, more so than coconut oil and I’m finding it has healed the raw skin eczema quickly including taking the itch out a bit. My hands have been very bad but generous slathering twice a day and letting it absorb in over a period of 3 days has really made the skin less itchy, less inflamed and much more manageable. I’m about to try it out as hair care for scalp and curly hair styling. Not even had it a week and it’s making a big difference to my skin and general comfort. Going to be my staple.
