Mangifera Indica (mango) Fruit Extract, Passiflora Edulis (passion fruit) Fruit Extract, Theobroma Grandiflorum (cupuaçu) Fruit Extract, Sodium Benzoate and Potassium Sorbate
The fruits
Mango is extremely rich in bioflavonoids and vitamin A and contains reasonable quantities of complex B vitamins and vitamin C, as well as mineral salts, principally iron. Passion fruit pulp is rich in antioxidant bioflavonoids and important minerals like potassium, calcium and magnesium, containing reasonable levels of vitamin C and A. Cupuaçu possesses high levels of moisturizing mucilages, antioxidant tannins and organic silicon, which is of great importance in the physical structure of the hair and the structural balance of the skin. The combination of these three fruits produces an ingredient with excellent protecting (anthocyanidins and combined bioflavonoids), nutritive and reinforcing properties (essential sugars and mineral salts).
Cupuaçu
A native of the Amazon, the cupuaçu fruit is cylindrical in form weighing from 800 to 1500 grams. The extremeties are round, the
skin is a dark, ligneous brown and a white pulp covers the seeds. Aromatic, with a bittersweet taste, cupuaçu is used in drinks, conserves, ice creams, candies and a special conhaque known as “cupuaçu wine”.
Mango

The skin can be green, yellow or red, depending on the variety. The pulp is succulent and has a color that ranges from light yellow to dark orange.
