Pongamia Pinnata Seed Extract Description

_Pongamia pinnata_ seed extract is derived from the kernels of a plant more commonly known as Indian beech or Pongame oiltree. It’s native to Australia, parts of Asia, and the Pacific Islands.

In cosmetics, this seed extract is used primarily as a skin conditioning ingredient because it has compounds within it that keep skin soft and smooth.
