Mangifera Indica (Mango) Fruit Extract

Mangifera Indica Fruit Extract is derived from mango, a tropical superfruit rich in vitamins A, C, and E, as well as natural enzymes. This nourishing extract provides antioxidant protection while gently supporting skin renewal.The natural enzymes in mango extract offer mild exfoliating benefits, while its vitamin content helps protect and nourish the skin for a healthy, radiant appearance.

Mango extract works through its polyphenolic compounds, particularly gallotannins and mangiferin, which have demonstrated antioxidant capacity. These compounds can neutralise free radicals—unstable molecules that contribute to skin ageing and inflammation when they accumulate.The anti-inflammatory mechanisms appear to operate through modulation of the skin's inflammatory response, potentially reducing redness and irritation. As a skin conditioner, the extract also supports the skin barrier's ability to retain moisture.

Mango extract is typically used as a supporting ingredient rather than an active hero component, so it works well alongside other antioxidants or anti-inflammatory agents. Include it as part of a broader skincare routine rather than relying on it as a single treatment. Apply products containing this ingredient to clean skin, morning or evening, depending on the formulation type.

Mango extract is generally well-tolerated by most skin types. Those with known sensitivity to plant extracts or fruit-derived ingredients should patch test first, particularly if they have mango fruit allergies.
