Mango Butter (INCI: Mangifera Indica Seed Butter) - CAS 90063-86-8
Mango Butter (INCI: Mangifera Indica Seed Butter) is a luxurious, lightweight vegetable butter extracted from the seed kernels of the mango fruit (Mangifera indica). Prized for its elegant skin feel and excellent moisturizing properties, it has become increasingly popular in premium natural and conventional cosmetics alike.
Rich in stearic and oleic acids, mango butter melts readily at body temperature, absorbing quickly into the skin without leaving a heavy or greasy residue. Its high content of unsaponifiable matter — including phytosterols, tocopherols (vitamin E), and triterpenes — provides antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and skin-repair benefits beyond simple moisturization. Lighter than shea butter and softer than cocoa butter, mango butter offers a unique balance of nourishment and elegance, making it a favorite for body butters, lip care, facial moisturizers, and hair care products worldwide.
Key Benefits

✅ Barrier support - stearic and palmitic acids strengthen lipid barrier
✅ Reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL) - locks in moisture
✅ Antioxidant protection - vitamin E and polyphenols fight free radicals
