SHOULD I CHOOSE MANGO BUTTER OR SHEA BUTTER?

We’re often asked “Should I choose mango butter or shea butter?”

The answer depends on your skin type, personal preferences, and what you’re looking to get out of your moisturizer. Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the best fit for your skin.

🥭 Mango Butter is best if you…

• Have sensitive or acne-prone skin
  Mango butter is gentle, lightweight, and won’t clog pores. It’s perfect for those with easily irritated or oily skin.
• Want a fast-absorbing moisturizer
  It melts quickly into the skin and leaves a smooth, non-greasy finish — great for daytime use or under makeup.
• Prefer little to no scent
  Mango butter has an extremely mild, almost undetectable scent. If you’re not a fan of nutty or earthy fragrances, mango is the way to go.

Try our Whipped Mango Butter, Coconut Lime Whipped Mango Butter or Raw Mango Butter.

🌰 Shea Butter is best if you…

• Have very dry or rough skin
  Shea butter is rich, creamy, and deeply moisturizing — perfect for treating dry patches, cracked heels, and chapped hands.
• Need urgent relief from eczema or other skin conditions
  Its anti-inflammatory and healing properties make it ideal for calming irritated or inflamed skin.
• Love a warm, nutty scent
  Shea’s natural aroma is cozy and comforting — a scent many of our customers adore.

Try our Unscented Whipped Shea Butter, Vanilla Whipped Shea Butter or Raw Shea Butter.

Both butters are amazing, and we actually use both in many of our blended butters for a well-rounded moisturizing experience. (If you want mango and shea together try our Sandalwood & Bergamot Blended Butter, Lemon & Lavender or Baby Powder.)
