Manketti oil, also known as Mongongo oil, is extracted from the nuts of the mongongo tree, native to southern Africa.
 
This oil is rich in essential fatty acids and vitamin E. It has been used for centuries in Southern Africa as a valuable ingredient to protect skin and hair from the harmful effects of sun and wind in an arid environment. 
 
Today, Manketti oil is increasingly used in cosmetics for its moisturizing, nourishing, regenerating, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which help reduce the signs of skin aging. It is also used to protect the skin and hair from the harmful effects of the sun and wind.
