The Natal mahogany tree produces mafura butter from its seeds. Mafura butter is extracted from the seed kernel of the mafura fruit and has properties that are better than shea butter. It can be used for hair and skin conditioning, soap and candle making, wood polish, and medicinal purposes. Mafura butter contains essential fatty acids and has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties making it useful for cosmetics and personal care products. It can also be certified organic.
