All Functions: SKIN CONDITIONING, ANTIOXIDANT, HUMECTANT

Quick Facts:

• Category: active
• Also Known As: MANGIFERA INDICA (MANGO) EXTRACT, MANGO EXTRACT
• Comedogenic Rating: 0/5

Proven Benefits At A Glance:

• Mangifera indica (mango) extract contains natural compounds with antimicrobial properties
• When formulated as a topical ointment or cream, mango seed extract showed antimicrobial activity in research
• Mango leaf extract has been studied as a base material for nanoparticle synthesis, though this is early-stage research
• Research on mango extract for skincare is limited; most studies focus on antimicrobial and anti-parasitic applications rather than cosmetic benefits

Safety tier is a starting heuristic from regulatory status and comedogenic rating, not a dermatological verdict — see our Terms for the full disclaimer. Research confidence reflects how many real cited studies back this ingredient, not the strength of their findings.

📚 Research & Evidence

🔬 The Science

Mangifera indica Linn is the scientific name for mango, a plant in the Anacardiaceae family that contains secondary metabolites—naturally occurring chemical compounds produced by plants beyond their basic survival needs (J Adv Pharm Technol Res, 2015). #1: When mango seed extract was formulated into topical ointments and creams at varying concentrations (1%, 5%, and 10%), the resulting products demonstrated antimicrobial activity against microorganisms. The oleaginous (oil-based) ointment formulation performed better than water-in-oil emulsion types. These formulations were tested for safety markers including skin irritation potential, pH balance, spreadability, and stability, and the research concluded they were safe and efficient carriers with antimicrobial properties (J Adv Pharm Technol Res, 2015).

#2: Mango leaf extract has been used in laboratory synthesis of titanium dioxide nanoparticles for anti-parasitic research, though this application targets parasites rather than skincare benefits and remains in early scientific investigation (Parasitol Res, 2015). The available research is limited to these specific applications—antimicrobial activity in topical formulations and use as a synthesis material for nanoparticles. No studies in these sources evaluate cosmetic benefits like anti-aging, hydration, or skin brightening effects.

💧 Skin Type Compatibility

Derived from this ingredient’s irritancy potential and comedogenicity rating against the needs of each skin type — e.g. oily and acne-prone skin are marked down for pore-clogging ingredients, sensitive skin for irritants. A starting heuristic, not a dermatological verdict.
