About

Mung bean (Phaseolus radiatus) sprout water — a gentle hydrating botanical with mild antioxidant content. Generally well tolerated.

Phaseolus radiatus sprout water is the aqueous fraction obtained from sprouted mung beans, used in cosmetics as a hydrating, conditioning vehicle that also delivers small amounts of polyphenols, flavonoids (vitexin, isovitexin), and amino acids. Mung bean has a long food and traditional-medicine history and a benign topical safety profile. There is no specific SCCS or CIR opinion on the sprout water, so evidence is moderate at best. Trace legume proteins could in principle sensitise allergic users; appropriate preservation is essential.
