Mango butter 🥭🧈 is a soft, creamy butter extracted from the kernel (seed) of the mango fruit. It’s lighter than cocoa butter and less greasy than shea, making it a favorite for luxury skincare and haircare products.

🌿 What makes it special

Mango butter is rich in:

Fatty acids (oleic, stearic) → deep nourishment

Vitamins A & E → skin repair + glow

Antioxidants → protection from environmental damage
