It turns out by cold pressing of seeds of Magnificium Indian and represents a solid vegetable oil - the so-called tropical butterfly, a soft creamy shade and with a subtle aroma.
Composition
The chemical composition of the oil includes such useful substances as monounsaturated fatty acids, which play an important role in the restoration processes of the lipid barrier of the epidermis. It also contains vitamins (A, B, C, E, D) that have an antioxidative effect, prevent aging of the skin, stimulate the natural production of colganogen fibers. In addition, mango oil is rich in trace elements such as magnesium, calcium, iron and potassium, necessary for cellular metabolism. And its constituent phytosterols - plant analogues of female hormones, slow the age-related changes in the skin, and, unlike synthetic compounds, are absolutely harmless. All these components, caused the use of mango oil in modern phyto-cosmetology.
