The deliciously tropical mango currently in season! This fleshy, sweet fruit is a favorite among islanders, and add an exotic kick to your smoothies, fruit salads and desserts. Mangoes are chock full of vitamins A, B and C, minerals and potassium. However, their soft pulp also make a great ingredient for your skin when applied topically! Mango butter is a natural emollient, like shea butter, and can help heal wounds and has natural regenerative properties. Used as is, it can help relieve eczema and psoriasis, and is also used to help prevent wrinkles and treat dry skin. Mango butter also has some natural UV protection.
Other benefits include reliving insect bites, help clear blemishes, helps heal sunburn, and helps against the driest, scaliest skin like your knees, elbows and cracked heels. It’s also fantastic for your hair.
