Mango Butter

Mango is native to South Asia but now is cultivated in most tropical climates of the world. Almost half of the mangoes are cultivated in India. Fat is extracted from dried kernel of mango also known as Mangifera Indica.

Mango kernels contain 7-11% grayish-white colored fat which is suitable for edible purpose. The oil is semi-solid at room temperatures, but melts when comes in contact with skin. Extracted Mango oil/Butter is neutralized and bleached to produce refined Mango Butter.

Mango butter is soft and this makes it useful in soap making, skin care, and hair care products. Mango butter is similar to shea and cocoa butters in consistency except fatty acid content. Mango butter is rich antioxidants, vitamin A and E. Mango Butter is soft yellow in colour.
