Mango has Copper
Mangifera Indica is high in copper.
What is the skincare benefit of copper?
Copper peptides promote:
- collagen
- elastin
- hyaluronic acid production within the skin.
All three are vital for skin firmness, but all three of these components decrease with age.
Copper peptides also remove damaged collagen. [1]
- Copper is rare within skincare products because copper extraction is costly.
- Copper is found in boutique brands such as Osmotics.
- Mango extract and Mango Seed Butter provide the benefits of copper at a generally more accessible price point.
Few skin products build Elastin like copper. Elastin is a necessary part of younger, resilient skin with less sagging.
While we focus great deal on collagen, elastin is what gives skin its’ youthful bounce.
For best results, Copper should be paired with supporting ingredients. These include Peptides, Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and retinoids. [2]

- Vitamin C to reduce fine lines, quell acne, and reverse photodamage

- B6 to strength the skin
