Shea butter is often used in moisturizers, creams, lotions, and other emulsions for the skin and hair. It is rich in fats that make it an excellent emollient and skin moisturizing agent. Experiments also showed it has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. These can help reduce inflammatory skin diseases and the damage the skin and hair have undergone due to free radicals.

It also contains vitamins A and E, which not only keep the skin in optimal health but also protect it from being damaged by the sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation. These components give shea butter a mild sun protection factor (SPF). Vitamin E also soothes dry skin and improves the skin’s elasticity, making this butter a good anti-aging agent (2).

Now, when it comes to the types of shea butter available in the market, there are a handful of varieties. Raw or pure shea butter is the most natural form that is usually yellow or green. It may contain a few impurities as it has not been processed at all and is sold right after extraction from the nuts. This raw version can be processed in different ways to yield different varieties of shea butter. We shall discuss these below.

Soothe Conditions Like Eczema and Psoriasis

For some of us, dry and scaly skin is an even bigger problem.

Eczema is a common condition in which the skin develops dry, sensitive areas which may develop into rough, leathery patches, inflamed areas, or dark patches. The common feature, though, is itchiness.

Psoriasis is a skin disorder in which skin cells multiply far faster than normal, which makes skin build up into bumpy red patches covered in white scales.

If you live with either of these conditions, you’re likely familiar with the daily irritation–and, at times, the embarrassment–that comes with dealing with your skin. Unfortunately, these conditions aren’t always responsive to regular store-bought lotions and creams.

This is where mango butter can help. It has remarkable anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe dry patches while also providing skin with essential nutrients it needs in order to heal.

Reduces Fine Lines

We said earlier that our skin produces less oil as we age. This is part of why we develop fine lines as we age, on top of our skin losing elasticity as we grow older.

Mango butter has a significant amount of fatty acid and mineral content, the exact ingredients your skin needs to slow the appearance of fine lines. Of particular value is mango butter’s high concentration of vitamin A, an essential nutrient for cell growth.

It’s also deeply moisturizing without being greasy, which helps your skin maintain a healthy oil balance like the skin of someone much younger.

Battle Acne

You might be surprised to hear that a body butter is good for treating acne. But keep in mind what we said earlier–mango butter is non-comedogenic, which means it can provide moisture and healthy oil content without clogging your pores.

In fact, it can actually help soothe existing acne because of its anti-inflammatory properties. Once you wash your face, apply mango butter using a small makeup brush. Don’t touch your face once you’ve applied it to avoid introducing new bacteria and oil.

In fact, many people apply mango butter right before bed. If you do take this route, make sure to let it soak in first so you can keep your pillowcase clean.

Calm Itching Bug Bites

Another one of the benefits of mango butter is its anti-inflammatory qualities that make it great for helping heal minor wounds, dry skin, and skin conditions like eczema. It also makes it a good choice for soothing bug bites.

One of the worst things you can do for a healing bug bite is scratch it, as you’ll irritate the skin surrounding the bug bite as well. Instead of scratching, apply mango butter to the bug bite. It has a cooling effect that will soothe the itchy sensation and help you avoid scratching. The high nutrient content will also help promote healing.

If you’re dealing with a potentially poisonous bite, like a black widow or a brown recluse, you should seek medical attention. However, if you’re dealing with a basic mosquito bite, mango butter is good for soothing itchy skin.

Reduce the Appearance of Scars

Finally, you can use mango butter to help reduce the appearance of scars.

Obviously, it’s best if you treat healing wounds early to minimize the potential for scarring. That said, you can use mango butter in combination with other healing kinds of butter like shea and cocoa to help promote healing and lessen the scar tissue.
