Mango Butter is derived from the fruit kernels of the Mango tree. It remains solid at room temperature but melts upon contact with the skin.   It's a deeply moisturizing, nutrient-rich emollient that restores skin elasticity and softens dry hair. Perfect for DIY body butters, lotions, soaps, and lip balms, it has a smooth texture that absorbs quickly without feeling greasy. It has a melting point of 30°C–38°C (86°F–100°F).
 
Usage Recommendations
Lotions and Creams: Try using 2 to 20%
Body and Lip Balms: Experiment with 5 to 100%
Bar Soap: Aim for 3 to 12.5%
 
Caution: Always melt your mango butter using a double boiler. Heating it too quickly may result in a grainy texture.
 
Mango butter can be beneficial for addressing cutaneous dryness, particularly after sun exposure or other harsh elements.
 
Both shea and mango butters contain a high level of unsaponifiable matter. If heated improperly, they may crystallize upon solidification, leading to tiny fat granules or crystals that create a bumpy texture on the skin. Although these bumps will melt when rubbed in, they can be frustrating in formulations intended to be smooth.
 
To eliminate graininess from your shea or mango butters, simply heat the butter in a double boiler on the stove. Gas heat is preferable as it maintains a more consistent temperature than electric. Heat the butter to 170-185°F. This temperature range is safe and will not compromise the beneficial properties of the butters. Maintain this temperature for 10-15 minutes to dissolve the fat crystals. If rapid cooling occurs, it may help prevent crystals from reforming. Should you find crystals have returned after solidifying, repeat the heating process, being mindful of time and temperature.
