Meet the Ingredient

Mangosteen, known in Thailand as mangkhut (pronounced mung-koot), hides soft, fragrant white fruit beneath a thick purple rind and crown-like green top. Sweet with a gentle tang, it is one of Thailand’s most loved tropical fruits and is often celebrated as the Queen of Fruits.

We use organic mangosteen fruit extract in our Centella Mangosteen Pomegranate Antioxidant Cleanser, where it works alongside centella and pomegranate to gently wash away excess oil, daily buildup and impurities. The formula helps leave the complexion feeling clean, fresh and comfortable while caring for dry and sensitive skin.

Verified by Modern Science

Research on mangosteen, particularly its purple rind, has found a high concentration of xanthones with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activity. These compounds may help calm visible redness, protect the skin from damage that can contribute to dullness and early signs of ageing, and help limit bacteria that can contribute to blemishes.

Did You Know?

Mangosteen has long been enjoyed across Southeast Asia for its delicate white fruit, but its thick purple rind has also attracted attention far beyond the kitchen. While the flesh is the part we eat, the rind contains the fruit’s highest concentration of naturally occurring xanthones and has a long history of use in traditional preparations.

That combination of a much-loved Thai fruit and a surprisingly valuable outer rind is part of what makes mangosteen so special to us. In our Antioxidant Cleanser, it joins centella and pomegranate in a gentle daily ritual designed to cleanse while keeping the skin feeling soft, calm and refreshed.
