While not as well-known as its famous relatives, cocoa, and shea butter, mango butter offers worthy benefits for maintaining healthy and beautiful skin.
What Is Mango Butter?
Extracted from the seed of the mango fruit, mango butter has a delicate scent and a lightweight, silky smooth texture.
How Is Mango Butter Derived?
It is derived from the seed of the mango fruit, scientifically known as Mangifera indica. The process begins with harvesting ripe mangoes and extracting their seeds. These seeds are then carefully dried and ground into a fine powder. The powdered seeds are subjected to a cold-pressing method, which extracts the rich, creamy butter.
Is Mango Butter Good For Skin?
Ideal for all skin types, it can effectively tackle the common problem of a disrupted skin barrier due to conventional products and procedures.
The Benefits Of Mango Butter For Skin (H2)
Natural Moisturizer (H3)
When applied topically, it absorbs quickly, delivering essential lipids like Omega-6 and Omega-9 fatty acids, to support your skin’s essential barrier function. This locks in precious water that is necessary for basic proper skin function. Mango also possesses natural Vitamins A, C, and E, which contribute to increasing overall resiliency against exposure of uv rays which is the biggest environmental stressor.
Anti-Aging
It is an excellent anti-aging agent for several reasons. Firstly, it is rich in the above-mentioned antioxidants that protect our skin from free radicals. Most notably, it contains vitamin A, an antioxidant and nutrient that promotes our skin’s natural renewal process and increases new skin cell turnover.
Its enduring ability to provide lipids, keeping our acid mantle intact (aka barrier function) keeps the skin smooth, resilient, and better shielded from adverse effects stemming from internal inflammation and microbiome upsets.
There are many choices when it comes to choosing adequate lipids for our skin and mango butter is a celebrated choice.
You Can Use It On Acne-Prone Skin
Oily, acne-prone skin especially requires regular hydration and barrier restoration. Mango butter will not clog pores and will support your skin’s self-purifying mechanism. It also has antibacterial properties.
If you are still worried about comedogenic oils please consider the new information that proves otherwise. Dense butters prevent dehydration, restore skin barrier, and balance oil production which are all necessary to open skin detox pathways to clear acne.
