Mango butter is obtained from the kernels of mango seeds (Mangifera indica). It has a wonderfully soft, smooth texture and absorbs quickly. In its refined form it is free of strong scent and colour, which makes it an ideal base for a variety of cosmetic products.

The butter is known for its ability to moisturise and strengthen the skin for a long time without clogging pores. Its natural active ingredients promote skin renewal, speed up the healing of damage and improve skin elasticity. It contains antioxidants that protect the skin from free radicals and slow down ageing.

It is also popular for the care of cracked, flaky skin, as it has an anti-inflammatory and soothing effect. It is also highly valued by people with sensitive or reactive skin, as it does not cause irritation.

In addition, it is excellent for the care of dry hair or ends, where it helps reduce breakage and restores shine.

Recipe for home use

Mask for dry and damaged hair

Ingredients:

• 150 g mango butter

• 2 tablespoons shea butter

• 1 tablespoon coconut oil

• 3 tablespoons almond oil (castor, avocado or jojoba oil also work)

Method:
Put the butters in a bowl and mash them together. Place over a bain-marie so they melt. Once softened, whip with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the remaining oils and mix until smooth. Store the mask in a clean jar with a lid in a cool place. Apply to hair before washing, leave on for 20–30 minutes, then rinse out.

Not for oral use. Store at room temperature, protected from light and out of the reach of children. Must not come into contact with the eyes.
