Cassia Angustifolia Seed Polysaccharide

Cassia Angustifolia Seed Polysaccharide is derived from Cassia angustifolia, a plant long referred to as senna. This is a polysaccharide especially valued in cosmetics, given its unique ability to form a thin protective film on the skin's surface, which exerts a natural moisture-binding action with an affinity for mitigating transepidermal water loss. This helps prevent the loss of moisture in the skin, resulting in more hydration and healthy-looking skin that is radiant. The structure formed by this polysaccharide, in turn, allows the skin to be smooth and soft while giving a temporal plumping effect that makes it look firmer and younger.
Besides, this ingredient is found compatible with many cosmetic ingredients, thus allowing flexibility during formulation. Its water-retentive properties make it particularly attractive for the formulation of products addressing dry or dehydrated skin, as this enhances the overall efficacy of moisturizers. Furthermore, the polysaccharide is rich in a number of amino acids that will help nourish the skin by supporting its natural barrier. It is non-aggressive due to its nature and was thus applied on all skin types, including sensitive ones. Cassia Angustifolia Seed Polysaccharide will enable formulators to get an improved degree of hydration and skin texture, while enjoying the application of a plant-derived and ecofriendly ingredient.
