Vigna Aconitifolia Seed Extract is an extract from the seed of a legume (the moth bean). It is added to formulas as a conditioning ingredient, and the manufacturer links it with skin hydration and firmness. On efficacy, independent data are scarce. The sensible view is to see it as a supporting ingredient, not an active with a proven result. Plant extracts of this kind add to the formula without their effect being backed by solid evidence, so a decisive role should not be assigned to it. Applied topically it has no systemic relevance, so it can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Tolerance is good. Irritation and allergy potential are low, which makes it suitable for sensitive skin. In cosmetic formulas most people do not react to this ingredient.
