  Any experience here using Mangosteen in body washes etc.

  Posted by mikethair on April 9, 2019 at 11:44 pm

   I have been approchedby a customer to formulate Mangosteen into a body wash. Something I have never used previously. In my opinion would add nothing to the formulation apart from the wow factor. Makes a great discussion point etc.

  My suppliers do not stock Mangosteen extracts. Howver, I have access to a Mangosteen juice which claims to have zero additives, and requires refrigeration after opening.
  

  I’m thinking just 2-3% with the usual Challenge Testing and stability tests.

  Anyone here been down that track? Any suggstions?
  

  
  

  Thanks

  @mikethair: 

  Yes, you can get Mangosteen Extract from Bio-Botanica.  Another option is Vari Stan PE which is Mangosteen dissolved in Propanediol.

  Your best bet would be the Mangosteen Extract in Glycerin from Bio-Botanica.  Mangosteen has very poor water solubility and if you dropped-in Vari Stan PE, it would probably become turbid, but perhaps the surfactants would help solubilize it.
