Mango for Skincare

Mangifera Indica is Mango. Mango Seed Butter provides a long-lasting emollient. Rich in fatty acids, it is perfect to keep skin hydrated and dewy overnight.

Copper

Mango is high in copper. Copper builds Collagen, Elastin and increases Hyaluronic Acid production within the skin. While we focus a great deal on copper, elastin is what gives skin its’ youthful bounce.

Copper is rare within skincare products because copper extraction is costly. Copper is found in boutique brands such as Osmotics. Mango extract and Mango Seed Butter provide the benefits of copper at a generally more accessible price point.

Copper peptides promote collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production within the skin. All three are vital for skin firmness, but all three of these components decrease with age. Few skin products build Elastin like copper. Elastin is a necessary part of younger, resilient skin with less sagging. Elastin gives skin its’ youthful springy and bouncy quality.

Copper peptides also remove damaged collagen. [1]

For best results, Copper should be paired with supporting ingredients. These include Peptides, Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and retinoids. [2]

Vitamin-Rich

Mango Seed Butter also contains Vitamins C, A, E, K, and B6. These refine the skin and fade discoloration, while protecting against environmental stressors.

• Vitamin C to reduce fine lines, quell acne, and reverse photodamage
• Vitamin A to refine the skin texture
• Vitamin E to soften the skin
• Vitamin K to reduce redness
• Vitamin B6 to strength the skin

Omega Fatty Acids

Mango is rich in oleic acid, better known as Omega-9 acid. It provides long-lasting moisture.
