What it is
Cassia Obtusifolia Seed Extract is derived from the seeds of the sicklepod plant and is rich in natural galactomannan polysaccharides. It is used in modern skincare, notably in Korean formulations, as a mild film-forming and skin-conditioning agent that gives a smoothing, lightly tightening feel.
How it works
