About this ingredient
Adzuki bean seed powder (INCI: Phaseolus Angularis Seed Powder) is a plant ingredient milled from the adzuki bean. In a formula it works as a gentle physical exfoliant: its particles help remove dead cells and clean the skin in scrubs and powder masks. It is a functional ingredient with a mechanical exfoliation role, not a chemical treatment active. It works to polish the skin's surface, with the advantage of a relatively fine grain compared with harsher scrubs. Its effect is improved feel and cleansing, with no claim of deep transformation. Applied topically it poses no systemic risk, so it can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Tolerance is high, with low irritation potential and low allergy risk. Even as a gentle exfoliant, on sensitive skin it is best applied with light pressure and without over-rubbing to avoid irritation.
