Words by Mikaël

In medieval India, the Indo-Persian poet Amir Khusrow called the mango "Naghza Tarin Mewa Hindustan" ("the most beautiful fruit of Hindustan").

The mango is at the origin of the "cashmere" design found on many fabrics in India or in the region of India.

And with good reason, cultivated for over 4000 years, the soft, luscious and brightly colored flesh of this Indian native is pure heaven.

At the heart of the fruit hides a large flat seed in which there is a rich butter.

Famous for its moisturizing qualities, mango butter contains a host of skin-rejuvenating and protective antioxidants.

Its smooth texture and its ability to be used by all skin types ensure it a place of choice in preparations of all kinds for the skin and hair.
