Protective Moisturizer

Mango Butter vs. Shea Butter vs. Cocoa Butter

The choice of using mango butter during certain times of the year is important. Because mango butter is softer than shea and cocoa butter, it contains more fatty acids making it a more intense moisturizer.

So, for mango butter vs. shea butter vs. cocoa butter here’s the comparative hardness. Mango butter is moderate. Shea butter is the softest and used in many body butters or can be used by itself. Cocoa butter is the hardest and it’s added to prevent any other softer butters from melting during hot seasonal temperatures.

 Why is it grainy?

Sometimes a body butter may seem grainy when being applied to the skin. This is because a whipped body butter can get grainy when it experiences a temperature increase and then cools too slowly. You can fix this by gently remelting the body butter, make sure not to melt it too quickly and then cool it to get rid of that grainy texture.

Luxurious Butter

Lastly, mango butter has little to no odor and being rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, it helps ease dry skin conditions and slows down degeneration of skin cells. A superb butter to add to any handmade body butter making it a luxury body butter.
