Mango Butter

Mango butter is a creamy, plant‑based butter extracted from the kernels of the Mangifera indica fruit. Known for its silky texture and fast absorption, mango butter has been used in traditional skincare across tropical regions for hydration, soothing, and skin‑protective benefits. Modern research highlights its rich fatty acid profile, antioxidants, and natural emollients that support moisture retention, barrier repair, and overall skin health.

Its lightweight feel and non‑greasy finish make mango butter a perfect addition to 2nd Gen Herbal’s natural skincare and wellness formulations, especially for customers who want deep moisture without heaviness.
