Mango Butter – Lightweight Hydration with a Silky Finish
Mango Butter is a nutrient-rich, semi-solid butter extracted from the kernels of the mango fruit. Known for its lightweight texture and quick absorption, it delivers deep hydration without feeling heavy.
Unlike heavier butters like Shea or Cocoa, Mango Butter has a softer, creamier texture, making it an excellent choice for facial and body care formulations.

Where Does Mango Butter Come From?
Mango Butter is primarily produced in India, Southeast Asia, and parts of West Africa, where mango trees thrive in warm tropical climates.
India is the world's largest mango producer, with regions like Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh leading in both fruit production and butter extraction.
While mango trees grow across tropical regions worldwide, Indian Mango Butter is particularly valued for its smooth consistency and rich antioxidant content.

How Butters Compare to Oils
Mango Butter combines the best of both worlds—it absorbs faster than heavier butters yet provides long-lasting hydration similar to oils.
- Higher oleic acid content: Allows it to penetrate the skin quickly.
- Non-greasy hydration: Leaves a smooth finish without clogging pores.
- Rich in Vitamin C: Supports skin brightness and elasticity.
