Luffa cylindrica extract contains dried fibre components of the ripe, cucumber-like fruits of Luffa cylindrica, the sponge cucumber. Luffa cylindrica is a cucurbit plant that occurs in tropical regions.
The extract acts as an abrasive (removes impurities from the body surface, supports mechanical tooth cleaning and/or improves shine) and swelling agent (reduces the bulk density of cosmetic products).
