I love mango butter, its smooth, silky, creamy and fatty; perfect for dry skin. Here we have a cream made with large amounts of mango butter in a base of sunflower and pequi oil. It smells gloriously fruity from the pequi. This cream is suitable for the whole body and can be marketed as a hand and body cream. I made a total of 4 versions of this product, but the first one was the best in terms of function, skin feel and stability.

This formulation completed on 16th March 2022 and has approximately 5.5 months real life stability testing as well as rapid accelerated testing.
