What Is Cassia Angustifolia Seed Polysaccharide?
The polysaccharide portion derived from the seed of the Cassia angustifolium plant, a small, flowering shrub. The seed of this plant and its fractions serve as emollients when applied to skin. As with all plants, Cassia angustifolium is also a source of antioxidants. In this case, it’s a good source of the flavonoid compounds quercimeritrin, scutellarein, and rutin, all of which help defend skin’s surface against damage from airborne pollutants and other sources of environmental stress.
