Mango

1. Definition Mango:

Mango is a tropical fruit that is not only delicious to eat but also contains beneficial properties for the skin. Mango extract, oil, or butter is commonly used in cosmetics for its moisturizing, rejuvenating, and antioxidant properties.

2. Use:

Mango is used in cosmetics for its ability to nourish and hydrate the skin. It is often found in moisturizers, lotions, creams, and masks to help improve skin texture and elasticity. Mango butter is especially popular for its rich texture and ability to deeply moisturize dry and sensitive skin.

3. Usage Mango:

When using cosmetics containing mango, it is important to patch test the product on a small area of skin to check for any allergic reactions. Mango can be used on all skin types, but those with sensitive skin should be cautious and consult with a dermatologist before use. To maximize the benefits of mango in cosmetics, apply the product to clean, dry skin and massage gently until fully absorbed.
