Garcinia Mangostana Peel Extract is commonly known as mangosteen peel extract. It is a potent botanical derived from the pericarp (rind) of the mangosteen fruit. Rich in xanthones (especially α-mangostin), polyphenols, flavonoids, and other bioactive compounds, it offers strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and skin-soothing properties. This extract is valued in anti-aging serums, brightening creams, soothing masks, acne treatments, and protective moisturizers. It helps combat oxidative stress, calm irritation, support even tone, and promote a healthier, more radiant complexion.

Origin
Garcinia Mangostana Peel Extract is sourced from the peel of the mangosteen fruit (Garcinia mangostana), a tropical tree native to Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand). The peels are harvested from ripe fruit (often as a byproduct of the edible pulp), dried, and extracted using water, glycerin, or gentle solvents to concentrate xanthones, polyphenols, and other actives. This eco-friendly process yields a liquid or powder form compatible with natural and clean beauty formulations.
