Mangosteen is the fruit from a tropical evergreen tree that grows from South East Asia and India to South America and Florida. While not particularly nutrient dense the mangosteen does provide us with a natural source of B vitamins which make it particularly attractive for skin care.
Thiamine (B1) 5%
Riboflavin (B2) 5%
Niacin (B3) 2%
Pantothenic Acid (B5) 1%

The fruit also contains a powerful antioxidant, Mangostin which also has anti-inflammatory properties.
Solubility: High level of water solubility but we still recommend making up your extract, checking for any residue or sedimentation and filtering if necessary.
Extraction: As this is a 30:1 extract you only need add 3.4% of powdered extract to 96.6% water to reconstitute it into Mangosteen 'juice'. This juice can be used as your water phase but we do recommend using this at a more dilute level as fruit extracts such as this can sometimes cause people irritation.
Use Levels: 1-10% of a 'juice' prepared as above or 0.03-0.3% as supplied into your product.
Heat Tolerance: Very good.
