Formulation notes
- Harder and less prone to graininess than shea at the same use level. If your body butter keeps going sandy, swap half the shea for mango before you change your cooling process.
- Near-odorless, which means your fragrance does what you designed it to do rather than fighting a nutty base note.
- Organic mango carries a 2–3x premium at retail sizes and collapses to near-parity at 44 lb. Buy the claim at bulk, not at retail.
Applications
- Body butter
- Lotion bars
- Cold process soap
- Lip balm
- Hair butter
- Massage bars
