Mango Butter -- not much for eating but great for skincare

Mango butter – another really rich oil/butter from the tropics.  It’s pressed from the seeds of the Mango tree. The mango's popularity is not especially new -- they've been cultivated for over 6,000 years.  Mango butter is a triple whammy in skin care:  has fatty acids to help protect the skin and retain moisture, emollients to soften and soothe the skin, and moisturizing properties to help make skin softer and suppler.  The only down side to it’s perfectness is that there is no associated wonderful, mango-ey, tropical scent.  Ok, so it doesn’t have much of a scent at all.  But it is still a wonderful buttery nut butter that is so much more fun to use than your average dry skin cream.
