Certified organic mango butter, pressed from the kernel inside the mango stone (Mangifera indica). It is a soft, ivory butter that scoops easily and melts readily on the skin, with almost no scent of its own — the reason formulators choose it when a fragrance needs room to sit.
One ingredient, nothing blended in — no oils, waxes, fragrance or preservatives.
The 200g size suits first projects and recipe testing — enough for a batch of balms, a couple of jars of whipped body butter, or a trial soap batch before you scale up.
Mango butter sits between shea and cocoa in firmness: softer and easier to work than cocoa butter, firmer than shea, and noticeably less greasy on the skin than either. It is also close to odourless, so unlike cocoa butter it will not colour the scent of a blend — which makes it the easier of the two to build a fragranced product around.
Melt gently over low heat or in a double boiler, then cool quickly once melted — overheating and slow cooling is what turns a butter grainy. Many cold process soap recipes use it at around 5–15% of the oil weight, while whipped body butters often run much higher.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight with the container sealed. Both butters soften in warm weather; if one melts and resets it is still perfectly usable, though the texture may turn grainy.
Intended as a cosmetic and soap-making ingredient. Patch test before wider use, as with any new skincare ingredient.
