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

• Research on mango extract for skincare is limited; most studies focus on antimicrobial and anti-parasitic applications rather than cosmetic benefits

⚗️ Chemical Overview

At room temperature, hydrogen chloride is a colorless to slightly yellow, corrosive, nonflammable gas that is heavier than air and has a strong irritating odor. On exposure to air, hydrogen chloride forms dense white corrosive vapors. Hydrogen chloride can be released from volcanoes. Hydrogen chloride has many uses, including cleaning, pickling, electroplating metals, tanning leather, and refining and producing a wide variety of products. Hydrogen chloride can be formed during the burning of many plastics. Upon contact with water, it forms hydrochloric acid. Both hydrogen chloride and hydrochloric acid are corrosive. Hydrochloric acid, solution is a colorless watery liquid with a sharp, irritating odor. Consists of hydrogen chloride, a gas, dissolved in water. Sinks and mixes with water. Produces irritating vapor. (USCG, 1999) Hydrogen chloride, anhydrous appears as a colorless gas with a sharp, pungent odor. Fumes strongly in moist air. Nonflammable. Corrosive to metals and tissues and irritating to the eyes and respiratory system. Heavier than air. Long-term inhalation of low concentrations or short-term inhalation of high concentrations has adverse health effects. Prolonged exposure to fire or intense heat may result in the violent rupture and rocketing of the container. Used in the manufacture of rubber, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and in gasoline refining and metals processing. Rate of onset: Immediate Persistence: Minutes to hours Odor threshold: 0.77 ppm Source/use/other hazard: Ore, other metal refining/cleaning; food/pickling; petroleum; corrosive liq.

📊 Comedogenicity

0/5

🛡️ Safety rating

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.

🌍 Regulatory Status

💧 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.

📚 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.
