Frequently Asked Questions

Mangosteen plants contain a number of natural compounds. The flesh surrounding the edible fruit contains a number of compounds called xanthones. Xanthones have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and anti-bacterial properties.

The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant nature of mangosteen promotes healthy skin. The skin’s renewal process can be impacted by ageing, inflammation and sun/UV damage. Antioxidants help the skin rejuvenate itself and repair damage by lowering inflammation. The xanthones, ferulic acid and vitamin C all help boost collagen formation, essential for youthful skin. The antibacterial properties help rebalance the microbiome and create a healthier environment for the good microbes.

Fine lines, wrinkles, loose skin, acne breakouts, etc., are all signs of oxidative stress and an imbalanced microbiome. As a result, they break down collagen, hamper the skin’s natural repair process, and cause inflammation. Antioxidants can help prevent and repair these signs by neutralising free radicals, giving skin a more youthful look.

Free radicals and regular sun exposure can trigger changes in the production of skin’s melanin. As a result, the skin develops dark spots and uneven skin tone. Antioxidants can help prevent irregular skin pigmentation by minimising photodamage. Some antioxidants (like vitamin C) also block tyrosinase, an enzyme that promotes the generation of melanin.
