FEATURES

What does it look like?

  • Mango is a sacred tree from Asia, traditionally used for its nutritional properties. Cultivated for over 4000 years, it has spread rapidly throughout the world.
  • The mango contains a large, flat kernel which itself contains a single seed 4-7cm long. This precious kernel contains a butter that is rich in essential fatty acids.
  • Its fruit is called " drupe ": in botany, these are fleshy fruits usually consisting of a single seed or stone like cherries, apricots or olives. Mangoes have a smooth, thin skin and are green, yellow or scarlet in colour, depending on the variety and amount of sun exposure.
  • Mango trees appreciates sunny, humid and warm climates growing abundantly in tropical areas and low altitudes- just like the Caribbean!

PROPERTIES OF OUR MANGOES

Why is it so effective for your dry hair?

The mango butter that is extracted from the kernel is very rich in essential fatty acids with exceptional nourishing properties. After we collect the mango pulp, the pits are gathered and dried in the sun. Mango has a very low melting point at - 35°C so we use cold pressing- a mechanical extraction method to preserve the nourishing properties of the butter. 

The butter is extracted without using water or solvents, to make sure the rich healthy fatty acids remain unaltered and at their peak- - Specifically, it’s the oleic and stearic fatty acids that make mango butter such an effective ingredient for dry hair The butter then undergoes cold pressing, filtration and physical refining by vacuum deodorisation as well as decolorisation using diatomaceous earth.
