Synergy — Antibacterial Facial Gel (Mangosteen Peel Facial Gel)

The product's composition combines surfactants, humectants, preservatives, and mangosteen peel extract (Garcinia mangostana Linn.), rich in xanthones, tannins, and polyphenols. Scientifically, the key factor is the synergy between the phytochemicals in the extract and the auxiliary components of the formula. Studies confirm that xanthones (particularly α-mangostin and γ-mangostin) exhibit pronounced antioxidant and antibacterial effects by inhibiting free radical reactions and modulating bacterial membranes. In the presence of surfactants such as Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Cocamidopropyl Betaine, the penetration of active metabolites through the stratum corneum is potentiated, leading to enhanced local bioavailability and prolonged action of xanthones. This mechanism is classified as additive and potentiating.

An additional element of synergy is observed between mangosteen peel tannins and catechol-containing surface molecules: tannins form complexes with stratum corneum proteins, providing an astringent and protective effect, while accompanying surfactants promote more uniform distribution of the extract over the skin surface. This interaction is classified as protective and modulating.

Also significant is the synergy with propylene glycol, which acts as a penetration enhancer and humectant. It improves the solubility of xanthones, ensuring their deeper penetration into epidermal layers, as confirmed by in vitro studies using model membranes. The combined use of the extract and propylene glycol demonstrates a potentiation of antioxidant activity due to the stabilization of polyphenols in the aqueous phase.

Preservatives (methylparaben, propylparaben, diazolidinyl urea) in combination with tannins exhibit additive antimicrobial effects: tannins damage microbial cell walls, while parabens inhibit enzymatic systems, collectively reducing the risk of microbial colonization.

Furthermore, synergy with other botanical taxa is also confirmed: mangosteen xanthones demonstrate potentiating interactions with green tea flavonoids, pomegranate catechins, and turmeric curcuminoids, enhancing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. These interactions are described as modulating, tissue-specific, and additive, in some cases reaching a potentiating level when used in combination.

Thus, the pharmacological synergy of this formulation is realized through enhanced antioxidant and antimicrobial activity, optimized transport of active substances through the skin barrier, and stabilization of biologically active components.

Pharmacodynamics of Antibacterial Facial Gel (Mangosteen Peel Facial Gel)

The pharmacodynamics of the preparation are determined by the action of mangosteen peel extract (Garcinia mangostana Linn.) in combination with surfactants and auxiliary substances. The primary effects are attributed to xanthones, tannins, and polyphenols, which possess antioxidant and membrane-stabilizing properties. α-Mangostin and γ-Mangostin inhibit lipid peroxidation and interact with reactive oxygen species, leading to a reduction in oxidative stress at the level of cellular membranes. These processes have been confirmed in vitro through modeling of free radical reactions.

The preparation exerts local antimicrobial effects through a combined mechanism: tannins bind to proteins in microbial cell walls, disrupting their permeability, while xanthones inhibit bacterial enzymatic cascades. This effect is reinforced by the presence of preservatives (parabens, diazolidinyl urea), which block the activity of microbial intracellular enzymes.

The pharmacological activity additionally includes astringent and sebum-regulating actions, mediated by tannins and cationic polymers (Polyquaternium-7). These components reduce pore permeability, bind lipids and stratum corneum proteins, and normalize sebaceous gland secretion.

Auxiliary ingredients such as propylene glycol and PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate provide moisturizing and penetration-enhancing effects. They facilitate the transport of xanthones and tannins into the superficial epidermal layers, stabilize their activity, and prevent degradation in the aqueous environment.

The pharmacodynamic activity of the preparation operates at both cellular and tissue levels. At the cellular level, it inhibits free radical reactions, reduces the production of inflammatory mediators, and stabilizes cell membranes. At the tissue level, it exerts antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and keratolytic effects, which contribute to the normalization of the skin barrier function and a reduction in sebum hypersecretion.

Thus, the pharmacodynamics of the preparation are localized and are realized through a combination of antioxidant, antimicrobial, astringent, and moisturizing properties, supported by in vitro and in vivo data.

Pharmacokinetics of Antibacterial Facial Gel (Mangosteen Peel Facial Gel)

The preparation is designed for transdermal application, which determines its pharmacokinetic characteristics. The main active substances of the mangosteen peel extract belong to the class of polyphenols and xanthones. They possess moderate lipophilicity, allowing them to penetrate the stratum corneum into the superficial layers of the epidermis and partially into the dermis. Absorption occurs slowly and is primarily limited to local action; systemic exposure following topical application is extremely low.

The distribution of active components is predominantly localized in epidermal structures, especially in areas with high sebaceous gland activity. Polyphenols and tannins can bind to skin proteins and lipid structures, forming stable complexes that prolong their local action.

The metabolism of these compounds following transdermal administration occurs partially in the skin via enzymes of epidermal cells (e.g., polyphenol oxidases and peroxidases). Fragments that enter the systemic circulation undergo further biotransformation in the liver involving cytochrome P450 enzymes, as well as conjugation with glucuronic and sulfuric acids.

Trace amounts of active substances and their metabolites are eliminated via the kidneys (urine) and bile. A small fraction of polyphenols may be excreted unchanged through the skin via sweat. Excipients such as propylene glycol and surfactants are primarily eliminated by the kidneys following hepatic metabolism.

Thus, the pharmacokinetics of the preparation are predominantly local: the main action is confined to the site of application, and systemic impact is minimal.

Mechanisms of Action and Scientific Rationale: Antibacterial Facial Gel (Mangosteen Peel Facial Gel)

Liver and Gastrointestinal Tract. Xanthones and tannins from mangosteen peel extract exhibit pronounced antioxidant activity by suppressing the formation of reactive oxygen species and reducing lipid peroxidation. These compounds interact with hepatic enzyme systems (particularly CYP450), exerting a modulating effect on metabolic cascades. Their lipotropic properties are manifested through the binding of free radicals and stabilization of cell membranes.

Immune System. Xanthones and polyphenols inhibit the activation of the transcription factor NF-κB and the MAPK cascade, thereby reducing the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines. These effects exhibit modulating and anti-inflammatory properties. At the cellular level, the targets include macrophages and neutrophils, whose activity is regulated through decreased production of interleukins and prostaglandins.

Skin as a Target Organ. The most pronounced effects of the preparation are observed in the skin. Tannins form complexes with epidermal proteins, providing astringent and membrane-stabilizing effects. Xanthones inhibit lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase, reducing the production of inflammatory mediators. Surfactants enhance the penetration and uniform distribution of active components within the stratum corneum. These processes exhibit a potentiating character, amplifying antibacterial and antioxidant efficacy.
