Garcinia Mangostana (Mangosteen) Peel Extract

Mangosteen is a fruit with a sweet and sour flavor and is native to several Asian countries. The fruit is a rich source of xanthones, natural polyphenolic compounds that have documented health-promoting effects, especially when consumed orally.

Mangosteen’s dark red peel contains a rich assortment of antioxidant compounds, including flavonoids, xanthones, and anthocyanins, all of which neutralize oxidative damage. Mangosteen peel both interrupts and helps repair the visible damage from free radicals on skin; however, the peel of this plant is considered inedible, so bodily health benefits from this plant are due to consumption of the fruit portion.

On skin, all parts of the mangosteen plant exert pronounced calming benefits which helps visibly improve multiple skin concerns. This benefit mostly stems from its unique mix of antioxidants and their synergy on skin.
