Mango

Powerful Vitamin C in Skincare

EWG Rating

Scientific Name: {Mangifera indica}
Common Name: {Mango Fruit Extract}

Mango is often regarded as the "king of the fruit". Its antioxidant and nutrient-rich content makes it one of the most powerful health-boosting fruits available. And unlike other foods that are good for us but do not taste great, mango has a sweet, mild flavor that most people love. It is rich in:

• vitamin C
• fiber
• natural acids
• moisturizers

Even if you do not like mango as a fruit, you will love its skin benefits!

Mango is exceptionally high in antioxidants, especially vitamin C, one of the most potent and important natural antioxidants. Likewise, too much sun or environmental pollutants cause our skin to develop free radicals.

These free radicals are rogue cells that travel through our skin, harming every cell they contact.

Anti-Aging Antioxidants in Mango

Vitamin C combats free radicals, neutralizing them to be expelled from the skin.

Mango is an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agent, which is great for women with acne-prone, sensitive skin. Not only does it help to unclog clogged pores, but it can also prevent the formation of further pimples by eliminating the bacteria that often cause pimples.

Mango's antibacterial properties help reduce pimples' occurrence, while its anti-inflammatory properties reduce redness in the skin.

If you have sensitive skin, you know it is very easy for your skin to become red and irritated. Sometimes, switching to a new product or changing how you wash your face will stress your skin.

A mango product helps you stop this redness and gives your complexion time to adjust to a new product or routine. In addition, consistent use of mango helps the skin become more resilient and less likely to irritate.

With its citric, malic, and tartaric acids, mango maintains proper chemistry in the skin. When skin is unbalanced, it becomes difficult to manage, easily irritated, and uneven in texture and complexion.

However, Mangos help to reverse this process, helping the skin appear more even and return to normalcy.
