Frequently asked questions
What is organic manketti (mongongo) oil?
It is the organic grade of manketti oil, also called mongongo oil (INCI: Schinziophyton Rautanenii Kernel Oil), expressed from the kernels of the mongongo nut tree of southern Africa. It is a light, nutty seed oil prized in hair and skin care.
Why is mongongo oil used in hair care?
Mongongo oil is naturally rich in essential fatty acids and vitamin E and forms a light, non-greasy film, so it is popular in heat-protect sprays, leave-in hair oils, conditioners and scalp products, as well as facial oils.
Can manketti oil be used in food?
No, this grade is supplied for cosmetic use only and is not intended for food. For cosmetics it works well neat or blended with heavier butters to lighten the feel of a formula.
What pack sizes are available?
From 250 ml up to a 5 kg pack, all priced online. The specification, SDS and manufacturing flow chart are available on request.
