“All skin types can see benefits from mango seed butter, but dry skin especially during the colder months can greatly benefit from its moisturizing properties,” plastic surgeon and founding father of telehealth dermatology group Cortina Reid Maclellan, M.D. explains.
“Mango seed butter has a very rich lipid composition (between 8.15% – 13.16%); it’s especially rich in oleic acid and stearic acid,” says Koestline. “This gives mango seed butter its occlusive and emollient properties that help keep the skin barrier nourished.”
In quick, mango seed butter hydrates the pores and skin by filling within the cracks, encouraging a softer canvas, and locking that moisture in. Hence, why it’s such an A+ choose for dry pores and skin sorts.
