Over the past seven-plus years, our not-so-small-anymore former startup company has made some amazing breakthroughs and reached unprecedented successes. Before XanGo, who knew what a mangosteen was? Did you?

But think about this, in 2008, mangosteen was quoted as the “most copied superfruit” at the Natural Product Expo – one of the industry’s largest tradeshows. Now, it seems that in 2010 the “Queen of Fruits” has claimed her rightful place in the upper echelon of must-have fruits: January’s People magazine named mangosteen as one of the “Hot Food Trends of 2010.” We’re glad they finally caught up to us, because we’ve known about it for years!

With Glimpse, we created a topical skin nutrition companion product to complement the internal support provided from our XanGo Juice. Glimpse is mangosteen-based skin care with a twist – non-toxic and safety-conscious formulation. We put just as much focus on what went into our topical nutrition product as what didn’t—no toxic chemicals allowed! In my previous article I mentioned several common culprits found in everyday skin, hair and body care products; phthalates, parabens, synthetic fragrance, and surfactant byproducts.

The alternative ingredients and monumental measures are complicated but definitely worth the effort. You deserve the best XanGo has to offer! Here are some super-star ingredients you will find in Glimpse, just to give you an idea:

• Use of natural antioxidants and botanical preservatives: we combine botanical preservatives such as gluconolactone (corn-based) with well known antioxidants – tocopherol (vitamin E) and let us not forget the mangosteen-based BioActive X3 Complex with the, scientifically proven, highest antioxidant power we’ve seen in personal care products!
• Use of botanical oils, pure essential oils for skin benefits and natural fragrance: grapefruits, lemongrass, rosewood, orange, bergamot, basil, cucumber, jojoba and more – not only do they provide natural scent to each product, they provide various skin benefits including moisture, nourishment, hydration and detoxification.
• Use of quality packaging to maintain freshness and efficacy of phytonutrients. That’s right…the pumps are airless—to prevent deterioration or contamination of the formula.

We’re proud of our Glimpse formulations and have nothing to hide. Click here to find a full glossary of Glimpse ingredients found on our website. We believe you will be pleasantly surprised.

Rest assured, XanGo takes the extra steps to ensure safety and efficacy giving your skin a performance workout in every application. So no worries on toxic chemicals, just enjoy the powerful anti-aging benefits on your skin!
