Our take
Is Phaseolus Angularis Seed Extract a Good Ingredient?
Rated Fair: it may offer antioxidant and conditioning support, but the evidence in human topical studies is limited. As a legume-derived botanical, it can also occasionally irritate or sensitize delicate skin, which keeps it out of Good territory.
