Description

Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter is a natural, plant-derived butter extracted from the seeds of the mango fruit. Known for its creamy texture and excellent emollient properties, it is widely used in skincare and haircare formulations to provide deep hydration and improve skin softness.
