Concern level
High concern
Botanical extract from the seeds of Momordica cochinchinensis (gac). In cosmetics it is used mainly as a skin-conditioning, antioxidant-supporting ingredient; the seed fraction is also rich in lipids and bioactives, so extracts may be used for emollient and protective claims rather than as a single defined chemical entity. Because it is a plant extract, composition can vary by solvent and standardization.
