Local mango leaves have high skin care benefits, says study

The native summertime fruit and major Filipino agricultural export has more than its sweetness to offer. Extracts of local mango leaves have shown great potential as a cosmetic ingredient with high antioxidant, anti-aging and whitening properties, according to a study conducted by a team of researchers from the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB). The study looked into the presence of polyphenolic compounds in the leaves of local mango cultivars (carabao, apple mango, pico, sinaging and sipsipin), along with the antioxidant capacity and inhibitory effect against elastase and tyrosinase enzymes which cause ageing and darkening of skin, respectively.
