Caesalpinia Spinosa Fruit Pod Extract

What Caesalpinia Spinosa Fruit Pod Extract is & what it does

Caesalpinia Spinosa Fruit Pod Extract is derived from the seed pods of the tara tree, a plant native to South America. The pods are rich in galactomannan polysaccharides and tannins, so in skincare the extract is used mainly as a film-former and skin-conditioning agent that can give a smoothing, tightening feel. It is sometimes paired with other botanical sugars to create a temporary firming effect on the skin surface.
