BioNat Mafura

Our MAFURA BUTTER is extracted from the seeds of the MAFURA fruits and comes from the eastern and southern Africa, where it is wild harvested. Our sustainable harvesting model, using the seeds, allows local people to get income from the trees instead of cutting them to sell the wood. MAFURA BUTTER is an ivory butter with a very nice texture : due to the low melting point, the mafura butter will melt in your hands as soon as you touch it, giving a soft and deeply nourishing oils with a nice spicy and green smell. Mafura butter is traditionnally use as a body balsam and as nourishing butter for dry hair, but also as anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial balm to cure wounds and skin deseases.
