Garcinia Mangostana (Mangosteen) Fruit Extract

What is Mangosteen Extract? 

Mangosteen extract, otherwise known as Garcinia Mangostana Fruit Extract, is derived from the tropical evergreen mangosteen tree, which is believed to have originated in Indonesia and is found widely across various South East Asian regions like Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam, as well as in certain parts of Africa. Scientific studies have discovered that mangosteen contains a class of natural polyphenol compounds called xanthones, which are known for their health benefits. Mangosteen extract also offers a range of other benefits for your skin, including antioxidant protection, anti-inflammatory effects, as well as promoting overall skin health and vitality 

What are the benefits of Garcinia Mangostana (Mangosteen) Fruit Extract for your skin?

One of the biggest reasons that mangosteen extract is so great for your skin is its abundance of xanthones, specifically alpha mangosteen and gamma mangosteen. These xanthones are potent antioxidants that help combat inflammation and oxidative stress. By neutralising harmful free radicals, these antioxidants help to repair cellular damage, thereby slowing down the skin’s ageing process.

The antioxidant properties of mangosteen extract also make it particularly effective in promoting skin health. By shielding the skin from environmental aggressors like harmful UV radiation, mangosteen extract can help to prevent premature ageing signs like fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots. Additionally, its anti-inflammatory properties can soothe irritated skin and help to alleviate conditions like acne, eczema, and dermatitis.

Mangosteen extract helps contribute to a more youthful, radiant complexion. By supporting skin regeneration and collagen production, this extract helps to maintain skin elasticity and firmness, resulting in smoother, healthier-looking skin.
