About

A protein-rich seed extract from the garden pea — conditioning and nourishing, with antioxidant activity that helps protect skin from environmental stress.

Pisum sativum seed contains a rich mixture of storage proteins (pisilin, legumin, vicilin-type proteins), non-starch polysaccharides, and bioactive peptides. The seed extract is produced through aqueous or oil extraction and retains the protein fraction's conditioning properties. Pea protein has film-forming ability that can improve skin smoothness and hydration. Bioactive peptides generated from pea protein have demonstrated antioxidant activity in vitro. Pisum sativum is a common food with no documented toxicity and a strong safety profile in topical applications.
