Liquid fraction · dry-fractionated from Mangifera indica
The liquid fraction of our upcycled mango kernel butter. Silky, pourable, and high-oleic — a light emollient with the faint summer aroma of the parent kernel. A practical carrier for hair mists, lip gloss, and body sprays that want something more interesting than mineral oil.
Mango olein is the lighter cousin of our mango stearin. Where the stearin holds body, the olein pours. It integrates into aqueous sprays and gel-oil hybrids without separation and tolerates fragrance and essential oil loading to 5 percent.
Oleic content sits at 50 to 60 percent. The lipid stays liquid at 22°C. It carries an 18-month shelf life in amber glass and a light, faintly fruity aroma that most formulators choose to leave as-is.
For private-label cosmetic manufacturers, mango olein is a strategic ingredient — inexpensive compared with argan or meadowfoam, upcycled, and credible in clean-beauty positioning.
The oil India burns, poured back into a bottle.
| Fatty acid | Notation | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| Oleic | C18:1 | 50–60% |
| Stearic | C18:0 | 15–25% |
| Palmitic | C16:0 | 5–9% |
| Linoleic | C18:2 | 5–8% |

Applications where this lipid is generally used, drawn from published formulation practice.
Lighter than argan. Pairs beautifully with kokum olein in premium formulas.
Clear, stable, faintly aromatic. Supports pigment load.
Disperses cleanly in aqueous systems without surfactant.
Non-occlusive; high oleic without high linoleic oxidation risk.
Certified upcycled; strong positioning for EU and US premium retail.
5 to 12 percent inclusion lightens heavy shea or kokum systems.
Replaces argan and meadowfoam at 1:1 in most light emollient systems. Not a direct cold-process soap ingredient. Pair with mango stearin when rebuilding body in anhydrous balms.
