It also melts at body temperature or upon contact with skin and disperses smoothly, providing a protective, emollient layer. Try using Mango Butter for:

With mango butter you need not worry about such things because it is 100% natural. It is packed full of beneficial antioxidants to keep your skin looking smooth and young, and helping to prevent its destruction by the free-radical generating industrial and traffic pollution, the pesticides that surround us due to modern agricultural techniques, the ubiquitous tobacco smoke and even the sun's rays.

Scientifically, it contains substances known as triterpenes and needs no added chemicals to offer its antioxidant properties to your skin. You will likely find 'preservatives' in your commercial preparation, under that or another obscure name. Mango butter contains natural preservatives that help to preserve your skin, and so preserve your youthful looks.

What more could you ask for than an exotic skin care product that is derived 100% from natural plant sources, protects your skin from the ravages of modern industry and living, contains no synthetic detergents or any other harmful substances, is inexpensive, and above all makes your skin feel luxuriously soft and supple? That is mango butter!
