About
Mango fruit (pulp) — a carotenoid- and vitamin-rich tropical botanical used for antioxidant and conditioning support. Edible and generally well tolerated.
Mangifera indica fruit pulp contributes beta-carotene, polyphenols (mangiferin), vitamin C, and sugars. In cosmetics it functions as a skin conditioning and antioxidant agent. CIR has reviewed Mangifera indica cosmetic ingredients favorably. Food-grade heritage supports broad safety; mango peel and sap carry urushiol-like allergens (alk(en)yl resorcinols) so pulp-only extracts are preferred to minimize cross-reactivity with poison-ivy-sensitive users.
