About

Noni (Morinda citrifolia) seed powder — a plant-derived powder used for skin smoothing and conditioning.

Morinda citrifolia (noni) seed powder is derived from the seeds of the noni fruit. While the noni fruit has been extensively studied and has a documented safety profile in cosmetics, the seed is less well-studied. Noni seed contains different constituents including morindin and other anthraquinones. Some noni seed compounds may have photosensitizing potential based on the anthraquinone content. EU CosIng has limited entries for noni seed specifically. The score is slightly conservative due to the lower documentation level compared to noni fruit.

Skin benefits
