About this ingredient
Tara fruit extract is obtained from Caesalpinia spinosa. INCI: Caesalpinia Spinosa Fruit Extract. In a formula it works as a moisturizing and conditioning component: it is rich in polysaccharides that form a thin film on skin, hold water, and give an instant feel of smoothness and tightening. It is a functional moisturizing component with a sensory effect rather than a potent active. The tightening feel is film-based and temporary. Pregnancy safety. Topical use is systemically negligible, with no evidence of harm. It can be used during pregnancy and lactation. Tolerance. Irritation and allergen potential are low, suitable for sensitive skin.
