Mongongo Oil
Mongongo oil, or manketti oil, is sought after in the cosmetic and personal-care industry for its naturally high content of linoleic fatty acid and eleostearic acid, making this ingredient ideal for topical skin and hair applications, and in particular for sunscreen and sun protectant formulations. Additional everyday products that often include this exotic African oil are shampoos, conditioners, and treatments for damaged hair; skin creams, serums, and topical anti-inflammatory balms.
