Mango butter is a plant butter used to soften skin. To apply it, warm a small amount
between your fingertips and spread a thin layer over dry-feeling areas. Its firm
texture makes the warming step useful: you want the butter to glide comfortably 
rather than drag across the skin.

If you like a simple body-care ritual, here is how to choose a mango butter and 
work out the right amount for you.

## What is mango butter?

Mango butter comes from the seed kernel inside the fruit’s stone. It is different
from mango pulp or a mango-scented body cream. Au Natural Organics’ [mango ingredient guide](https://aunaturalorganics.com/ingredient/mango/)
explains the botanical source and processing.

The store’s [mango butter](https://aunaturalorganics.com/shop/mango-butter/) is 
refined and nearly odorless. Do not expect it to smell like a freshly cut mango.
Choose it for the ingredient and feel, then check any finished product separately
for added fragrance.

## How to use mango butter on dry-feeling areas

 1. **Check the label.** Confirm that the product is intended for direct application
    and read its directions.
 2. **Patch test before wider use.** Stop if irritation occurs.
 3. **Use clean, dry fingertips or a clean spatula.** Take out a small amount rather
    than scooping a large handful.
 4. **Warm it between your fingertips.** Wait until it softens enough to spread easily.
 5. **Smooth a thin layer over the chosen area.** Start with one area, such as your
    hands, so you can judge the texture.
 6. **Adjust on the next application.** If you dislike the finish, reduce the amount
    before deciding that you need a different product.

Keep the first trial uncomplicated. Trying several new products at once makes it
harder to identify which texture you enjoy.

## Choose by texture and routine

Before buying, think about when you will use the butter. A jar beside your evening
hand-care supplies may fit your habits better than a product you intend to use during
a rushed morning.

Ask yourself three questions: Do I enjoy warming a solid butter? Do I prefer little
or no fragrance? Will I actually use a separate body-care ingredient? Your answers
are more useful than a claim that one butter is universally best.

Mango butter also appears in cosmetic formulas. Ingredient supplier [MakingCosmetics](https://www.makingcosmetics.com/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-makingcosmetics-master/default/dwd4a374b8/fact-sheets/fact-sheet-mango-butter-3.pdf)
identifies it as an emollient used in products including creams and body butters.
A finished formula can feel different from the butter on its own, so compare the
complete product rather than the headline ingredient alone.

## Common questions

### Does refined mango butter smell fruity?

The Au Natural Organics product is described as nearly odorless. A strong mango 
scent in a finished body product may come from other ingredients.

### Is mango butter the same as mango puree?

No. The butter is derived from the seed kernel. Fruit puree is a different material
and should not be substituted into your jar.

### How much should I apply?

Follow your product’s directions and begin with a small amount. Spread it fully 
before adding more; your preferred amount will depend on the area and the finish
you enjoy.
