on

Garcinia Mangostana, widely called “Mangosteen” and popularly known as the “Queen of Thai fruits”, is not only popular for its unique and delicious tropical taste but also for its benefits for health. Let’s delve deeper into the world of mangosteen and explore its potential on our body. 

Benefits of Mangosteen on Skin 

Wonder why Tarel Laboratory made mangosteen the Blemish Corrector Collection’s hero ingredient? The answer is here. 

Of all parts of mangosteen, its peel is the most beneficial for aiding skin health. Mangosteen peel extract has been scientifically proven for various skin benefits, including: 

  • anti-inflammatory 
  • antibacterial 
  • sebum-balancing 
  • local skin immune balancing 

And all the above properties come with its non-irritating nature. 

These scientific reports from many researchers from different places support the long uses by local natural path experts in southeast Asia on various skin inflammations and infections, including acne. This makes mangosteen peel extract an ideal ingredient for natural anti-blemish products, aiming to heal blemishes while compromising sensitive skin. 

Benefits of Mangosteen on Body

Besides its benefits on skin, mangosteen pulp and rind also have several more benefits for the body including, 

  • Protecting cells from free radicals 
  • Supporting immune system 
  • Aiding digestive system 
  • Relieving gastrointestinal illnesses 

Now, let’s see how mangosteen extract is doing compared to other ingredients for acne formulation.

Salicylic acid has anti-inflammatory action but also can inhibit the assembly of intact stratum corneum, resulting in skin exfoliating, peeling and drying. This explains why skin-drying and peeling adverse effects occur with salicylic acid-based topical acne formulations. In addition to being uncomfortable, skin peeling disturbs the natural microbiome's habitats, which are necessary for maintaining healthy skin. 

Another popular ingredient is benzoyl peroxide, a well-known free radical generator. This ingredient works effectively by generating free radicals to attack bacteria in acne. Unfortunately, free radicals attack not only bad bacteria, but also tissue and good bacteria, required for balance skin microbiome. Therefore, benzoyl peroxide may cause some temporary hyperpigmentation. Too much uses can also upset the skin microbiome. 

Another ingredient for acne problems is vitamin A or retinoids in various forms. The use of retinoid formulation can be in the form of oral or topical. For oral, careful monitoring by a doctor is absolutely required because retinoid side effects are quite harmful. For topical formulation, many people usually experience skin drying and peeling as the side effects of retinoid uses.
