Buhle Manketti Oil stimulates barrier functioning, providing film-forming protection and recovery against xerotic conditions. The very high concentration of linoleic acid and γ-tocopherol, coupled with relatively low oleic acid content supports high quality skin barrier recovery.
The presence of eleostearic acid, a conjugated form of linolenic acid, provides a light coating on the hair cuticle, allowing for coarse hair management and leading to smoother, more manageable tresses.
The manketti tree (also known as the ‘mongongo tree’) is scattered around southern Africa, usually distributed in large clusters which span a width of several kilometers. The manketti fruit, broadly the size and shape of a common plum, emits a pleasant aromatic fragrance. The prized, creamy-yellow kernels, which is rich in oil and nutrients is encased in a protective shell.
