A healthy glow is not simply a matter of appearance — it is a sign of well-hydrated, well-nourished skin with an intact barrier and balanced microcirculation. Orange Mango Butter was formulated to deliver that condition: a lightweight, fast-absorbing butter that restores radiance without heaviness or residue.
The Actives
Orange (Citrus sinensis)
Orange is one of the richest natural sources of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) — a well-characterised antioxidant that supports collagen synthesis, inhibits melanin overproduction, and protects against photo-oxidative stress. Unlike synthetic vitamin C derivatives, the naturally occurring form in orange is accompanied by a matrix of flavonoids that enhance its stability and bioavailability.
Mango Butter (Mangifera indica)
Mango butter is extracted from the kernel of the mango fruit. Its fatty acid profile is notably different from shea or cocoa butter — higher in oleic acid, which makes it lighter and more absorbent. It delivers deep hydration without the greasy film associated with heavier butters, making it ideal for daytime use.
| Property | Benefit |
|---|---|
| High oleic acid content | Lightweight absorption, no greasy residue |
| Rich in antioxidants | Protects against environmental damage |
| Non-comedogenic | Suitable for face and body |
The Formula
| Ingredient | Role |
|---|---|
| Mango butter | Lightweight hydration, antioxidant protection |
| Shea butter | Deep nourishment, barrier support |
| Orange extract (vitamin C) | Brightening, collagen support |
| Coconut oil | Seals moisture, antimicrobial protection |
The result is a butter that delivers visible radiance — not from shimmer or reflectants, but from genuinely improved skin condition.
Who It Serves
- Dull, dehydrated skin lacking luminosity
- Those who prefer lightweight textures that absorb quickly
- Post-vacation skin in need of recovery
- Anyone seeking year-round radiance without heavy products
How to Use
Apply to clean, slightly damp skin. The lightweight formula absorbs in under a minute, making it suitable for morning application before dressing. For enhanced radiance, layer over damp skin after a warm shower — the heat opens the pores and allows the butter to penetrate more deeply.
