Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter is a plant-derived fat rich in stearic and oleic acids used to moisturize, soften, and provide an occlusive barrier in skincare and cosmetic formulations. It functions primarily as an emollient base ingredient rather than a therapeutic active.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Allergic contact dermatitis | Rare | Possible in individuals sensitized to mango or related Anacardiaceae plants (cross-reactivity with urushiol). |
Skin irritation or redness | Rare | Mild irritation reported infrequently, typically in sensitive skin. |
Comedogenicity (pore clogging) | Uncommon | Heavy occlusive fats may contribute to breakouts in acne-prone individuals. |
Frequencies reflect typical cosmetic use reported in the literature, not a guarantee for your skin.
