What It Does

Pisum Sativum (Pea) Sprout Extract is derived from young pea shoots harvested during the germination phase when phytonutrient concentration is at its peak. This extract is particularly rich in phytonutrients including flavonoids, saponins, and amino acids that provide antioxidant protection and support skin barrier function. Formulators value it for its ability to help protect against environmental stressors while being gentle and suitable for sensitive skin formulations, with the added benefit of coming from a highly sustainable, rapidly renewable crop source.
