Clients longing for a tropical get a way as Fall weather descends on us, but do not have the time or the budget? You can help your clients get into a tropical state of mind with a treatment that includes Mango Butter.
Mango Butter, a delightfully soft creamy butter with moisturizing extracts, is produced from the de-shelled kernels of the tropical Mango Tree. It is rich in antioxidants, including vitamins A, C and E. It is also a key source of oleic acid, which can help replenish moisture, fight free radicals, and soothe irritated skin.[1]
Among its benefits for skin, Mango Butter:
- Soothes the skin, helping to relieve itchiness and flakiness.
- Is naturally moisturizing, making it particularly useful for dry skin.
- Is non-comedogenic so it will not block pores.
- The antioxidants in Mango Butter can potentially help prevent premature aging and protect skin from sun damage by reducing oxidation of skin cells.
- Vitamins E and C in Mango Butter help protect skin from environmental damage, including pollution and sunlight, which can make skin more susceptible to damage leading to premature aging. [2]
- The high Vitamin C content in Mango Butter aids in collagen production, which helps gives the skin structure to help keep it firm and wrinkle-free.[3]
