Functions
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Soothing
Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation. Your skin's chill pill — great for sensitive, reactive, or post-procedure skin.
Locks in moisture
Traditional Use
Moth bean (Vigna aconitifolia) has been used in Ayurvedic medicine as a cooling and nutritive agent. Modern cosmetic extraction of the seed represents a contemporary application of this traditional ingredient for skincare benefits.
