Mafura butter is extracted from the seeds of the mafura tree, also known as the Natal Mahogany tree, native to Southern Africa and much prized for its timber. It is popular in traditional African use as a skin and hair moisturiser, and applied to cuts and wounds as a healing agent.
Mafura butter can be used directly on the skin as a wonderful moisturiser, or added to soaps, hair products, creams and other skincare products.

I've realised I'm allergic to shea butter, so this has been a great alternative. Even better, as it blends into lotion bases surprisingly easily -a lot more easily than any other butter I've used (shea, mango, cacao). I didn't even have to use a mixer, as it blended into my room-temperature lotion base perfectly with a few stirs. It applies beautifully to dry skin just as it is, great for lips. And makes rich and creamy lotion blends.
I'm happy with the product, received in good condition.
Love the texture of the butter and not greasy but creamy
I use the mafura butter with shea butter in my lip balm I make for son who is taking Oratane. He has not experienced the very dry and cracked lips that are a side effect of the medication because of this combination.
