Mangifera Indica, also known as Mango Butter, is a plant native to India and Burma belonging to the Anacardiaceae family.

Mango butter (Mangifera Indica Seed Butter) is obtained from the fruits of the plant, in particular from the seeds.

Among the main components of mango butter is a rich mix of fatty acids such as oleic acid, stearic acid, palmitic acid, linoleic acid and polyphenols. These substances help improve the barrier function of the skin and keep it hydrated and smooth.

Mango Butter is excellent for taking care of dry skin, softening dehydrated areas such as heels and elbows and soothing sun-reddened skin and restoring the natural elasticity of the tissues.

Dry, brittle hair with split ends can benefit from pre-shampoo masks based on mango butter, which can be used pure or mixed with vegetable oils. But it is also useful for protecting the hair from external agents, fortifying it and reducing breakage in the lengths. Finally, it increases shine and keeps frizz at bay.
