What Is Phaseolus Angularis Seed?
What is the purpose of Phaseolus Angularis Seed in personal care products?
It is used for its abrasive
, absorbent, and viscosity-controlling characteristics.
Phaseolus Angularis Seed physically removes unwanted substances, absorbs liquid, and adjusts the thickness of a product.
What Are Abrasive Ingredients?
Phaseolus Angularis Seed has abrasive characteristics.
Abrasive ingredients are commonly found in exfoliating cosmetic products, which are designed to remove dead skin cells and impurities from the surface of your skin. These ingredients work by physically scrubbing away the top layer of your skin, revealing the fresh, new skin underneath. These ingredients can come in the form of powders, beads, or granules. Exfoliating helps to improve the texture and tone of your skin, leaving it looking brighter, smoother, and more radiant. It can also help unclog pores, prevent acne breakouts, and increase the effectiveness of other skincare products.
Abrasives are also commonly used in toothpaste and other dental cleaning products to help remove surface stains and plaque from teeth. Abrasives work by physically scrubbing the surface of the teeth to remove debris and stains.
Abrasive ingredients, in general, physically scrub and scour surfaces to remove dirt, grime, and other unwanted materials. When you use a cleaning product with abrasive ingredients, you'll often feel a gritty texture as you apply it. This texture is what allows the product to work effectively. As you scrub, the abrasive particles work to break down and dislodge dirt, grease, and other materials from the surface you're cleaning.
What Are Absorbent Ingredients?
Phaseolus Angularis Seed has absorbent characteristics.
Absorbent ingredients are substances added to products to help them absorb moisture or oil. For example, in a face powder, absorbent ingredients like talc or silica help to absorb excess oil on the skin and give a matte finish. In deodorants, absorbent ingredients like baking soda or cornstarch helps to absorb sweat and moisture.
Besides cosmetic items, absorbent ingredients are found in other products like diapers. Super-absorbent polymers (SAPs) help keep babies dry by quickly absorbing and locking away moisture.
Types of Absorbent Ingredients
Here are some of the most common types of absorbent ingredients in cosmetics:
Powders: Cosmetics may contain a variety of powders, such as talc, cornstarch, or silica, which can help to absorb excess oil or moisture from the skin.
Clays: Natural clays, such as kaolin or bentonite, are often used in cosmetics as they can absorb excess oil and unwanted substances from the skin.
Charcoal: Activated charcoal is sometimes used in cosmetics as it can absorb impurities and toxins from the skin.
Gels: Some gels, such as aloe vera gel, can have absorbent properties and may be used in cosmetics to help soothe and moisturize the skin.
Polymers: Certain polymers, such as polyacrylates or cross-linked polyethylene, can be used in cosmetics to absorb excess moisture from the skin or to create a smooth, matte finish.
What Are Viscosity-Controlling Ingredients?
Phaseolus Angularis Seed has viscosity-controlling characteristics.
Viscosity-controlling ingredients increase or decrease the thickness of a product. These ingredients are essential in creating the desired texture and consistency for cosmetic products such as lotions, creams, and serums.
Increasing the viscosity of a cosmetic product can provide a thicker and more substantial texture, making it easier to apply and providing better coverage. On the other hand, decreasing the viscosity can create a lighter, more fluid consistency, allowing for quicker absorption into the skin.
Safety
