Mango is a tree fruit, an elliptical, aromatic drupe with a fleshy pulp and a single large, flat, fibrous seed in its centre.

Owing to its high content of carbohydrates, AHAs, vitamin C and, especially, vitamin A, the mango has antioxidant properties that can neutralise free radicals and give the body strong protection against cell degradation.

Thus, mango extract is useful when formulating cosmetic products that act to protect the skin and combat oxidative processes with their anti-ageing action.
