I have been invited to be one of a half dozen people hanging out in the

personal wellness aisle of our big natural foods co-op one Sat. in Feb to

talk about our products. The co-op carries my soap and is interested in the

balms I have begun to make.

I want to create a handout about the balms, listing what is in them and

why. But don't know what to say about mango butter. It makes balms creamy

and gives them some body, but does it add any healing properties? (Shea

does, but I've gone to using them 50/50 because Shea keeps getting

grainy,even though I heat it very carefully and not too hot. Well, what is

" too hot " for shea?)

Thanks,

Shivani

According to From Nature With Love:

" Mango butter is obtained from the kernels of the mango tree. It has a

high content of stearic acid, which makes it similar to cocoa butter. It

has good emolliency and lends a protective effect against the sun. It is

said to prevent drying of the skin and formation of wrinkles. It reduces

degeneration of skin cells and restores flexibility. "

 

I hope this helps!
