Mango Butter and its Advantages for the Skin

You may have heard that mango butter works wonders on your skin, but have you ever thought about how and why? You probably picture a pristine summer escape at a beach when you think of mangoes! But as a skin superfood, mango butter has a very high reputation!

Read on to learn more about the advantages of Better Butter Company's Unrefined Mango Butter and some suggestions on including it in your skincare regime or spa.

The seed of the mango fruit is where mango butter comes from. Mango butter is lightweight and emolliating, similar to shea and cocoa butter.

Regular Mango Butter Vs. Whipped Mango Butter

Let us first delve into the two different types of mango butter, i.e., regular and whipped.

The texture of mango butter is similar to that of the ordinary butter we use. It glides over the skin effortlessly, just like how warmed butter glides over toast.

Whipped Mango butter is lighter in weight. Usually, it is made with at least one carrier oil, which comes from the fatty components of plants such as nuts, seeds, and pits. It is comparable to vegetable oils.

Advantages of Mango Butter

Mango butter retains some of the mango fruit's top qualities. Let's take a closer look!

Nutrient-Rich

Mango being the King of Fruits, the mango is abundant in nutrition. It contains: 

• Vitamins A, B6, C, and E
• Calcium
• Folate
• Iron
• Potassium
• Magnesium
• Zinc

Our organic mango butter is produced by a steam-pressing and cold-refinement procedure that ensures that all the goodness in the organic butter is retained. 

Light/No Scent

Though mangoes have a sumptuous flavor, the scent of mango butter is light. We may not want to have the pleasant but strong aroma of mangoes upon us too much, but we would love to reap the benefits of mangoes for our health.

The scent is even less detectable than those of shea butter and the pungent aroma of cocoa butter.

Suitable for All Skin Types

Mango Butter does not block pores (i.e., it is non-comedogenic). Comedo is a type of acne which is less severe. It happens due to a pore blocked by dead skin cells, sebum, or bacteria. Since Mango butter is non-comedogenic, it is excellent at emolliating the skin of those who regularly have acne.

Light Consistency

Mango butter is lightweight in consistency. It seeps quickly into the skin and hair and is not greasy. The pure mango butter that we offer is even smoother and more potent than the one you may be accustomed to. That is because it is natural, without any fillers, additives, or water. It spreads like velvet over the skin!

Storage Friendly

Our organic mango butter has a shelf life of one year. As long as you store it in a cool, dry, and dark place, it will remain fresh.

Ensure that it is kept in a container that doesn't allow any air. Also, store the butter away from extremely high or low temperature, moisture, or direct sunlight.

Using Mango Butter

Mango Butter can be put to multiple uses. Its compatibility with all skin types, light aroma, and high nutrition make it an excellent beauty product. Here are some suggestions on how you can incorporate mango butter into your organic skincare regimen.

Treating A Sunburn

When you're out in the sun having a good time, one must take precautions. Sustaining sunburn is undesirable because it could bring about skin cancer.

Mango butter as a standalone product can help cool down the burn. Its high content of antioxidants and vitamins helps speed up this process.

When used as a mixture with oils or other kinds of butter, it can reduce your skin's susceptibility to sunburn.

Here are instructions to create your own product for sunburn (and also other kinds of burns):

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp - Mango Butter
• 2 tbsp - Aloe Vera Gel
• 3 drops - Sea Buckthorn Oil
• 3 drops - Peppermint Essential Oil

In a double boiler, melt the mango butter.

Add the aloe vera gel and stir, and then the oils.

Keep the mixture in the fridge for 15 minutes.

Using a hand mixer, whip the product well until it is cream-like.

Ensure to store it in a cool place that doesn't receive direct sunlight or moisture. The product will last for around 18 months.

It is important to note that if you have sustained a severe burn, you must consult a medical professional and proceed using an organic product upon their advice.

Mango Butter for Dry Skin

Emolliating dry skin is crucial to maintaining the health of your skin. When untreated, it can become aggravated or cause pain. The tiny tears in the skin and the lack of oil and moisture can be remedied using mango butter.

As we age, our bodies slowly reduce the production of oil. Being very emolliating and nutrient-dense, mango butter is excellent for maintaining skin health. It also provides and maintains oil balance in the skin while not resulting in acne breakouts.

Treating Eczema and Psoriasis

Eczema is a skin issue due to which portions of the skin become dry and sensitive. These may turn leather-like, swell up or darken. It causes itching.

Psoriasis is a skin disorder in which skin cells are produced quicker than the average rate. This results in raised red patches with whitish, scaly covering.

These conditions can be troublesome to take care of daily, i.e., with itchiness and discomfort. Not all supermarket products alleviate this skin irritability.

This is where mango butter comes in. It helps reduce dryness, supplies nutrients, and has anti-inflammatory abilities.

Minimizing Fine Lines - Anti Aging Properties

As we age, the elasticity of our skin reduces. Also, the decreasing oil production of our skin results in the formation of fine lines.

Mango butter has a high content of fatty acids and minerals, the very components required to reduce the look of fine lines. The Vitamin A present in mango butter is vital for the growth of cells.

It is also highly emolliating but is not too oily. This helps to upkeep the balance of skin oils, making the skin look youthful.

Reducing Acne

Mango butter, being non-comedogenic and anti-inflammatory, supplies beneficial oils and moisture without blocking pores, making it very effective in treating acne.

With a small makeup brush, spread some mango butter on your skin after washing your face. Avoid touching your face after this, as this may spread bacteria or unhelpful oils.

Many people practice this before sleeping at night. Ensure that it has seeped into the skin to avoid soiling the pillowcase.

Treating Bug Bites

Other than remedying dry skin, skin issues, and minor wounds, the anti-inflammatory ability of mango butter makes it suitable to calm bug bites.

It is essential to avoid itching the bug bite, which aggravates the skin around it. Applying mango butter will help calm it and reduce the urge to scratch it. The nutrition present in it helps it to heal.

Simple mosquito bites are the ones that are to be treated using mango butter. Serious bites require professional medical consultation.

Fading Scars

Treating wounds in the early stages will prevent scar formation. Otherwise, you may use mango butter along with other healing ingredients, like shea and cocoa butter, to help reduce the appearance of scars.
