Unlock the Magic of Mafura Butter: A 3CayG Staple for Skin and Hair Wellness

What is Mafura Butter?

Mafura Butter, sometimes referred to as Natal Mahogany Butter, is cold-pressed from the seeds of the Mafura tree. It has a creamy, semi-soft texture that melts into the skin and hair upon application, with a slightly earthy, nutty scent. It is rich in essential fatty acids, triglycerides, and natural antioxidants, making it a prized emollient and natural moisturizer.


✨ Skin Benefits of Mafura Butter

  1. Deep Moisturization
    Mafura Butter penetrates deeply into the skin, delivering intense hydration without clogging pores. It’s ideal for dry, cracked, or irritated skin and works wonders in harsh winter months.

  2. Anti-Inflammatory Properties
    The butter is rich in limonoids and triterpenes, which have natural anti-inflammatory effects. 

  3. Promotes Skin Repair
    Mafura helps accelerate wound healing and cell regeneration, making it excellent for healing scars, stretch marks, and blemishes.


♀️ Hair Benefits of Mafura Butter

  1. Revives Dry & Brittle Hair
    Mafura Butter acts as a natural conditioner, restoring softness and shine to dry, coarse, or heat-damaged hair.

  2. Scalp Nourishment
    Its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial benefits help soothe scalp irritation and combat dandruff or itchiness.

  3. Seals in Moisture
    Use it as a sealant after applying a leave-in conditioner to lock in moisture and prevent breakage, especially for curly, kinky, or coily hair types.
