Mango butter skin#
The skin was observed for any visible change such as erythema (redness) or oedema (swelling) after every 24 h for seven days.
Mango butter free#
FCC was applied once daily for seven days on the hair free skin of rabbits by uniformly spreading 0.5 g within the area of 4 cm 2. The study protocol was approved by the Institutional Animal Ethical Committee (Approval No.
Mango butter Patch#
The stability of the developed FCC was studied at 10☒°, 45±5° and at room temperature for 1 y.ĭraize repeated insult patch test (DRIPT) was performed for FCC on New Zealand rabbits weighing 2.5-3 kg of either sex. The production batches were simultaneously evaluated and optimized for appearance, emulsion stability, spreadability, skin feel, smoothness and absorption. The pre-formulation studies and product optimization was carried out with respect to quantity of mango butter and olein fraction to be incorporated for superior emolliency, percentage of emulsifiers, percentage of emulsion stabilizers, percentage of essential additives (humectant, vitamin E acetate, preservative), percentage of an aqueous phase and aesthetics. Perfume was added to the preparation at 40-45° and stirred well to yield the product. Stirring was continued with gradually lowering of the temperature. Both the phases were separately heated to 65-70° and then aqueous phase was incorporated into oil phase with homogenization whilst maintaining the temperature for 2-3 min. The oil phase comprised of emulsifiers, emulsion stabilizers, mango butter and olein fraction, replacing the mineral and petroleum emollients from conventional formulas whereas aqueous phase comprised of water-miscible additives, preservative and double distilled water. The product was oil-in-water emulsion system which was stabilized by emulsifiers and proper concentration of preservative. All other ingredients of extra pure grade were purchased from local market and used as such.įoot care cream was formulated with mango butter and olein fraction thereof as a base (25%w/w), fortified with vitamin E acetate (1%w/w). Mango butter and refined fractions thereof were the kind gift samples from Charbhuja Trading Agencies and Pvt. Further objective was to develop foot care cream (FCC) to explore the medicinal value and commercial application of mango butter in skin care cosmetic formulary. The aim of this study was to evaluate mango butter as a functional, natural supplement and skin active ingredient, hitherto unexplored. The high percentage of tocopherols, phytosterols and triterpenes in the mango butter significantly reduce wrinkles and roughness of the skin while the repairing and protecting properties open up possibilities to formulate caring products for sensitive skin. Literature survey on principle constituents of mango butter very well reveals its bacteriostatic, antimicrobial activity and anti-inflammatory activity 1, signifying its supplemental use as curative and protective medicine in topical formulations. Besides these facts, mango butter which is one of several exotic fats is viewed as an ingenious replacement for cocoa butter, mineral and petroleum based emollients because of its appreciable contents which are very important as source of skin active ingredients. The exotic fats used in skin care are known to exhibit their effects through restoration of a sufficient layer of skin lipids and skin elasticity, boost natural skin regeneration and increased skin hydration by forming an inert, epicutaneous occlusive membrane. Furthermore, these natural lipids have high oxidative resistance and are biocompatible, having no deleterious effects on the skin. This popularity has even increased in recent years a result of fats not only being an excellent emollient, but also offering interesting bioactive properties. Exotic lipids/fats obtained from de-shelled, pressed fruit kernels of shea, sal, mango and kokum tree are beneficial ingredients and have many attributes that make them suitable for skin care.

The most protective and preventive step taken against dry skin formation and related disorders is the use of “emollients” or moisturizing creams and lotions preferably with antiseptic properties. The consequences are dry skin, wrinkles, cracks and eventually sepsis.

In daily life, human skin is exposed to variety of environmental factors and unsanitary conditions that have detrimental effects on dermal integrity.
