Natural UV Defense and SPF Booster from Pongamia
PongaShield is a highly concentrated Pongamia (Millettia pinnata) extract rich in Pongamol, a naturally occurring antioxidant recognized for its ability to absorb UVA radiation. This multifunctional botanical helps defend skin against photoaging, oxidative stress, and environmental aggressors while enhancing the performance of sunscreen formulations. As consumers increasingly seek naturally derived sun care ingredients, PongaShield provides formulators with an effective botanical solution for mineral sunscreens, daily moisturizers, and anti-aging skincare.
