When it comes to summer there isn’t a fruit that we enjoy more than mangos. Luckily, in the tropics they are naturally available throughout most of the year allowing us to handcraft wonderful Enriching Body Bars just for you. Delicious, refreshing and nourishing, when eaten mangos can be the perfect thirst quencher. In skincare, mango is known to be a rich source of vitamins A and C, which has great skin benefits.
What’s in our mango extract?
Handpicked in St Lucia, our mangos come from a range of almost 15 known types of organically grown mango fruit trees known as the Mangifera. Our extract is a proprietary blend of mango and papaya fruit in which we extract their fatty goodness and blend it into our Calypso Glow Mango & Papaya Enriching Body Bar.
5 Skin Benefits of raw mango extracts
Firmer skin – its natural vitamin C component works to strengthen skin encouraging collagen production, which makes skin more elastic and firmer; allowing your appearance to look more toned.
Promotes radiant skin – its natural vitamin A component works to encourage cell renewal, reduce fine lines, imparting a healthy glow to dull and lackluster skin.
Reduces dark spots – and is known to fade scars.
Supports sun protection – although it’s not a replacement for your UVP sunscreen, mango extracts, like butter and oil, help reduce dark spots, and are known to offer some sun protection.
Soothes dry, irritable skin – and is typically kind to sensitive skin types.
In addition, our use of the organic mango scent is known to support a general feeling of wellbeing and uplifting your mood.
So, what new this spring in the Calypso Glow Mango & Papaya Enriching Body Bar?
This summer we’ve been inspired by the island of Barbuda that sits among the Leeward islands in the Caribbean. Barbuda is best known for its warm frothy sea waves that roll towards gorgeous hues of fine pink sand sprinkled along stretches of unexploited beach. It’s an awesome natural beauty. If you’d like to hear about Barbuda straight from the mouth of experts – check out what Conde Nast Traveller has to say in their top ten destinations to watch in 2016!
Here is our ingredient list:
Caribbean Saponified *coconut oil and *olive oil, naturally-retained glycerine, *mango and *papaya extracts, and organic mango and papaya fragrance oils and red clay. For external use only.
*Organic or Wild Harvested/ Unnatural Ingredients: None
**packaged in Eco Clear Compostable Bags that will break down over time and lessen our level of waste
This is the Body Bar to try if dryness, redness and irritation are skin problems for you. Inspired by the island of Barbuda, the summer look for the Calypso Glow Mango & Papaya Enriching Body Bar has smaller granules of papaya seeds for a lighter exfoliation, and the coconut oil gives it an amazing rich lather than cleanses and softens skin with very little effort. The anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties of coconut oil coupled with mango and papaya extracts make this a seriously nutrient rich formula offering skin repair, renewal and protection. Topped with red clay –which gives the bar a slight pink hue – you have a Body Bar that works well for dry, sensitive and mature skin types. It’s the perfect bar to cleanse, calm and rejuvenate your skin.
Experience the enriching benefits of mango this season and set the mood for your virtual tropical experience. Calypso Glow uses natural and organic ingredients in our body bars. We can’t wait to share our summer body bar with you during our spring/summer pop-ups and hope you’ll enjoy them too!
