Mango butter

Native to India, the mango tree produces a highly prized fruit rich in vitamin C. Mango butter is obtained by mechanically pressing the kernel. Although it is thick (in a jar), it is still tender and easy to spread. Mango butter is rich in oleic acid, phytosterols and polyphenols. These components give it protective, emollient, antioxidant and softening properties.

Perfect for dry, mature skin with a tendency to dryness and devitalization, mango butter maintains hydration, prevents skin aging and is used as a soothing treatment when the skin has been attacked, for example by the sun or the cold. Its texture (like its sweet smell!) makes it particularly pleasant to apply to the hair, where mango butter also demonstrates all its benefits: it repairs, nourishes and softens it, while preventing the formation of split ends
