About

Mung bean (Phaseolus radiatus) seed starch — a fine food-grade legume starch used as a gentle absorbent and skin-conditioning powder.

Phaseolus radiatus (mung bean, Vigna radiata) seed starch is isolated from mung beans, a staple legume in Asian cuisine. In cosmetics it provides a fine, soft absorbent powder that mattifies skin and modifies texture, and it is also used in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic skincare. The raw material is food-grade with a long consumption history. EU CosIng lists it without restriction and no GHS hazard class is assigned. Legume allergen potential is the main caveat.
