The skin of lanzones contains milky latex, which is a colloidal suspension, either the milky white liquid emulsion found in the cells of flowering plants such as the Para rubber

tree (Hevea brasiliensis) or any of various manufactured water emulsions consisting of synthetic rubber or plastic.

The lanzones seed and rind is rich in tannin and contain chemical substances that are medicinally and industrially useful. Lanzones flesh and juice are used by rural folk to treat sore eyes. The fruit peel serves as a mosquito repellant while the bark is also used for malaria and dysentery patients
