What Is Mangosteen Peel Extract?
Mangosteen peel extract comes from the purple rind of Garcinia mangostana, known as the queen of fruits. The peel is exceptionally rich in xanthones, a unique class of antioxidants.
Xanthones provide powerful anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial benefits alongside antioxidant protection. Alpha-mangostin is the most studied xanthone with significant skin benefits.
The extract is particularly effective for acne-prone and ageing skin due to its dual anti-inflammatory and antioxidant action.
