Extraction

Mango butter is extracted from the kernels of the mango fruit. The kernels are collected after the mango has been harvested and the flesh of the fruit has been removed. The kernels are then cleaned, dried, and ground into a powder. This powder is then heated to a high temperature to extract the oil, which is then cooled and solidified to form mango butter.
