Packaged in home compostable ziplock bags. Mango butter is a naturally occurring butter and is the soft fat extracted from the fruit seed. Mango butter has a luxurious emollient feel and is an ideal ingredient to use in skin care and suntan preparation and as a superfatting agent in soap. It has a fast absorption rate with a dry, non-greasy finish, making it an excellent addition to any 100% oil based balms where a dry finish is desired.
