How to Make Mango Body Butter: Recipe, Benefits, Uses, DIY

Make your own body butter using only natural ingredients. It'll be quick, easy and homemade. Mango butter has a lighter texture compared to shea butter. Shea butter, abundant in fatty acids, may clog pores, while mango butter, which transforms into a lighter oil, serves as an excellent emollient suitable for all skin types, while also being gentle on children's skin. When finished, mango butter has a hardness of semi-soft. While shea butter can be whipped into a soft and fluffy texture, mango butter can also be whipped, though it may not achieve the same level of fluffiness.
