The tamarind (Tamarindus) is a small tree native to tropical Africa that has spread to other parts of the world, for example parts of India, where it is called Tamar-hindi. It is highly prized for its fruit, which contains sweet yet spicy seeds that are rich in polysaccharides. These also have medicinal properties and offer significant benefits to cosmetic and beauty products.
Discover its properties
The main components of the tamarind seeds are polysaccharides, molecules with an excellent water-retention capacity. These moisturising molecules improve skin texture thanks to their capacity to retain water. They encourage the internal restructuring of the skin to make it more supple.
Why use Tamarind in your cosmetics routine
It is the ideal ally for rejuvenating the skin. It has excellent moisturising properties, even greater than those of hyaluronic acid. It reduces wrinkles, improves elasticity and increases skin density. Products containing tamarind have a unique sensory component, as the ingredient provides a pleasantly soft feeling.
