Science
Mechanism of Action
This ingredient operates primarily through mechanical exfoliation, acting as a finely abrasive particulate. It physically dislodges and sweeps away dead skin cells from both the face and body, thereby promoting a visible renewal of the skin's surface. This process uncovers younger, healthier-looking skin. Concurrently, it offers skin conditioning benefits, contributing to a softer and more refined skin feel.

Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not conducted a specific safety assessment for Passiflora Incarnata Seed Powder in cosmetic applications. Although 'PASSION FLOWER (PASSIFLORA INCARNATA L.)' holds a Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) status by the FDA for use as a food flavoring agent, this designation does not extend to its topical cosmetic use as a seed powder. Current safety data indicates 'None found' for GHS classification, hazard statements, and precautionary statements, with Oral/Parenteral, Dermal, and Inhalation Toxicity reported as 'Not determined' for the seed powder.
