Mango Butter

Vitamin E

Botanist note
Made with pure oils and butters and no synthetic stabilisers, you may notice slight batch-to-batch variation. Any graininess is cosmetic only and resolves with gentle warming. Read our guide here.
How to use
Warm a small amount of balm between fingertips. Press into clean, damp skin. Use morning, night or as needed. Use with Botanical Face Oil for the complete Botanical Face Ritual.
Who it's for
Dry, mature, depleted or weather-worn skin. If your skin reacts to fragrance or essential oils, try the Bare Face Balm.
How it's made
Cold-blended in small batches in Victoria using certified organic ingredients. Free from synthetic fragrances, preservatives and fillers. Always cruelty-free.
FAQs
What does frankincense smell like? Soft, resinous and slightly woody. Grounding rather than floral.
Why does the balm sometimes feel grainy? Natural plant butters can re-crystallise during temperature changes. It is cosmetic only.
Can I use this without the face oil? Yes. Apply directly to clean, damp skin.
Is this made in Australia? Yes. Cold-blended in small batches in Victoria.
Why our skincare looks different
Most skincare is 70 to 80% water. Once it dries, what's left is fragrance, preservatives and a thin film of actives. We remove the water entirely.
Every Skin Botanist formula is anhydrous - concentrated botanical oils, butters and waxes, with nothing diluted. Cold-blended by hand in Victoria, Australia, in small batches small enough that we notice if a butter sets differently or a scent lifts stronger. The texture is richer. A little goes further. Skin feels nourished, not coated.
