Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter

Our take
Is Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter a Good Ingredient?
This stable, fatty-acid-rich emollient softens skin and reduces transepidermal water loss effectively, with generally low irritation potential, which earns it Good. It isn't rated higher because there's limited clinical data showing it outperforms other butters.

Where you'll find it
Uses in Skincare & Cosmetics
Frequently included in rich moisturizers, body butters, lip salves, and overnight masks for intensive nourishment.
Before you use it
Safety
Typically well tolerated; refined grades contain few protein residues, but patch test if you're sensitive to Anacardiaceae (mango/cashew), as rare allergies can occur. Suitable for face and body; unlikely to irritate most skin types.
