PICTURE OF ARTICLE

DESCRIPTION:


The light yellow mafura butter is obtained from the seeds of the mafura tree (Trichilia emetica). This tree grows in East Africa, mostly in Zimbabwe and Mozambique. It grows to a height of 20 m and has yellow flowers with a lovely scent.
The orange colored seeds are collected in the African summer - between December and March; after collecting, they are soaked in hot water for several hours. After breaking open, the seeds are ground, and the butter oozes out. Mafura butter has a unique, tart and nutty scent, a bit like that of unrefined shea butter.
In those latitudes, mafura butter has many uses: in skin and hair care, in treating wounds, in soapmaking, for polishing wood or as a fuel. In many parts of Africa, eczema and insect bites of animals are treated with this butter. It is said to help against itching and to aid the healing of wounds. It anti-inflammatory properties are attributed to Trichillin A.
The butter contains mostly palmitic acid and oleic acid (50% and 30 %) and appr. 16 % linoleic acid. Nevertheless, it has a long shelf life. Its melting point lies at 30°C, so it can be applied easily to skin and hair even if undiluted.
Mafura butter is moisturizing and lipid replenishing, and is ideal for the treatment of dry and rough skin. It is mostly used in skin creams and lip care.
These properties make mafura an ideal ingredient in products for dry hair. It can be used as a conditioner, or can be applied directly to dry and itchy scalps. It also shows its soothing, lipid-replenishing effect in shampoo.
Mafura butter is an excellent ingredient in soaps made from natural ingredients.
