The power of plants
Native to India, the mango tree is grown in all tropical areas, mainly for its fruit. The fruit’s yellow, fibrous flesh has a delicious flavor, while its stone contains an edible kernel that produces a very rich paste used to thicken sauces. A vegetable oil can also be produced by pressing the kernel. Mango oil is rich in omega-9 essential fatty acids, and is used in cosmetics to hydrate, nourish and promote soft, supple, comfortable skin.
Skincare benefits of Mango leaf extract
In cosmetics, mango leaf extract—which is rich in micronutrients, anti-free radicals, and an antioxidant derivative, is used to help protect skin from harmful UV rays.
