Givaudan Active Beauty launches Mangixyl™, a powerful microbiome-friendly cosmetic ingredient with proven efficacy targeting oily skin through sebum regulation.
The new ingredient is created from responsibly sourced mango leaves and designed with inclusive beauty in mind, this sustainable innovation encapsulates the company’s purpose of ‘creating for happier, healthier lives with love for nature’.
Regulates Sebum Production
The mango leaves are sourced in collaboration with the Association Bendia, based in the village of Koro, Burkina Faso, in the heart of West Africa. After harvesting, the mango leaves undergo a green fractionation process to produce Mangixyl™.
The fully natural,
microbiome-friendly active ingredient regulates sebum production (down to 15.9 percent after one month depending on complexion) to relieve the discomfort caused by oily skin – a widespread concern for consumers around the world.
“
Mangixyl™ is a great example of how we work closely with communities to source ingredients in a responsible way, with maximum respect for people and the environment. This approach not only helps us to support these communities; it also makes our supply chain more secure and gives our customers access to high-quality, responsibly sourced products at a time when sustainability and traceability are top of mind for consumers,” said head of procurement Fine Fragrances & Active Beauty, Maxence Billas.
Suitable for All Age Groups & Skin Tones
The double-blind tests versus placebo studies, encompassing three different skin ethnicities (African, Asian and Caucasian) have also shown a 49.5 percent improvement in sebum quality. Reflecting the commitment to inclusive beauty, Mangixyl™ is a universal, genderless ingredient that is suitable for all age groups and skin tones.
“
The creation of Mangixyl™ shows how we combine a high level of scientific innovation with trending consumer insights to develop products that are not only good for people, but also good for the planet. Our Purpose remains our guiding star as we continue to develop sustainable new products for our customers and their consumers,” said Laurent Bourdeau, head of Active Beauty.
Mangixyl™ joins the growing portfolio of natural botanical actives, and features in a marketing concept called S3D® Womango. This lightweight, mattifying day cream for all consumers also contains Bamboosilk A, Curbilene® and CristalHyal®.
Thanks to its three levels of action, S3D® Womango immediately reduces shine, balances the skin’s moisture levels and sebum production all day long, and reduces excess sebum over time without over-drying.
