Roots Beard Balm: Ingredient Spotlight - Mango Butter

When we set out to create the Roots Beard Balm, we didn’t want another wax-heavy,
fragrance-first balm. We wanted something that protected, nourished, and actually worked. That’s why we chose Mango Butter as the star. If Shea is Africa’s Gold, Mango is the hidden treasure of tropical regions — a butter often overlooked, but unmatched in performance.

Origin of Mango Butter

Mango Butter is extracted from the seed kernel of the mango fruit. For centuries, it has been used in tropical regions as a skin healer, scalp treatment, and protector against harsh
climates. While Shea and Cocoa Butters gained mainstream attention, Mango Butter
remained a hidden gem — prized locally, but underutilized globally.

Nutrient Profile & Benefits

Mango Butter is rich in oleic acid, stearic acid, and antioxidants including vitamins A and E.
It is naturally lightweight and non-greasy, absorbing faster than heavier butters. For beard
care, this means deep conditioning, lasting hydration, and protection against breakage —
without leaving residue.

Pro Tip: Use Beard Balm in colder weather

Why We Chose Mango Butter for Beard Care

Mango Butter balances strength and softness. It provides structure for our balm without
overloading it with wax, giving a smoother texture that melts easily into the hands. Many
UK beard balms rely only on Shea or Cocoa Butter, missing out on the silkiness and balance that Mango delivers. This makes our Roots Balm stand apart.

Supporting Players in Roots Beard Balm

Avocado Oil
Prized by Aztec and Mayan cultures, Avocado Oil is rich in oleic acid and phytosterols. It
repairs damaged follicles, strengthens beard strands, and supports skin health underneath.

Shea Butter
Known as Africa’s Gold, Shea Butter provides unmatched protection. High in vitamins A and E, it locks in moisture, reduces beard dandruff, and builds resilience. Combined with Mango Butter, it forms a duo that balances softness with protection.

Sweet Almond Oil
A lightweight, soothing oil perfect for sensitive skin. Sweet Almond Oil calms irritation,
reduces redness, and makes the balm glide effortlessly through the beard, enhancing
spreadability and absorption.

Our Process & Integrity

Unlike mass-market balms made with deodorized or diluted butters, Rugged Beard Co.
works in small batches using raw, unrefined Mango Butter. This preserves its full nutrient

profile. Our balm isn’t a standalone fix — it’s designed to complement the Roots Beard Oil
and Soap, creating a routine that locks in hydration and protection at every step.
Many brands avoid Mango Butter because it costs more and requires careful handling. We
embrace it because real results demand real ingredients.

Closing Ethos

Rugged Beard Co. doesn’t use what’s easy or cheap — we use what works. The Roots Beard
Balm is proof: a golden trio of Mango, Shea, and Avocado, rounded with Sweet Almond,
crafted to protect, strengthen, and give your beard a natural hold.
