      Use in Cosmetics

      Mango Butter is characterised by its high content of stearic acid (up to 45%) giving it physical properties comparable with cocoa butter.

      Mango Butter is designed for cosmetic applications and can be incorporated in high quantities. It gives stable emulsions due to the uniform triglyceride composition with a high oxidative stability. It has good emolliency properties making it a very suitable replacement for many synthetic emolliency enhancers. It has a good softening effect and a good spreadability on the skin.

      Mango Butter is also used as an ingredient in skin care products, massage creams, make-up and sun care products. It has a protective effect against the sunlight.

      Concentration for Use

      5 to 20% depending on formulation.

      Hints

      Physical properties very similar to cocoa butter. Most of the produced Mango Butter is being used as cocoa butter replacer in the chocolate industry. Meanwhile however the excellent emollient properties of this butter have also attracted the attention of the cosmetics industry.

      Efficacy

      Although Mango Butter does not contain high tocopherol content it has an exceptionally good oxidative stability without addition of antioxidants. This is due to the very low content of polyunsaturated fatty acids. It prevents drying of the skin and the development of wrinkles. It reduces the degeneration of the skin cells and restores the flexibility of the skin.

      Keep in a cool (preferably below 5 to 100C, the cooler the better), dark and dry store-room.

      Shelf Life

      Under optimal storage conditions, in original unopened drums/containers, minimum one year.
