Overview
Cassia angustifolia seed polysaccharide is a complex sugar ingredient that originates from the small, ornamental plant commonly known as Alexandrian Senna. This plant is native to Egypt, and it is commercially harvested there, as well in India and Somalia, among others.
Functioning primarily as an emollient, cassia angustifolia seed polysaccharide works by making the skin appear softer and smoother. It is thought to work by drawing moisture into the skin, but more research is needed to confirm this claim.
This ingredient can be found in all types of skincare products, including lotions, creams, face masks, toners, sunscreens, and foundations.
