Turning Mango waste into daily used Organic cosmetics.

Agriculture Health Manufacturing Climate & Environment Commercial
Description

Every year, over 60% of Mango harvest becomes waste in Subsaharan Africa between 14.7 and 25.2 Million tons. Most of it is left to rot, harming our environment and wasting opportunity. We saw potential where others saw waste by recycling the mango seeds, we create high quality cosmetics that fight skin problems from fungal infections to dryness while protecting the planet.

Impact
