Pisum Sativum (pea) Extract is a plant-derived ingredient rich in proteins, peptides, vitamins, and antioxidants used in skincare for conditioning, soothing, and protective effects. It is often included for its purported firming and anti-aging properties.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Contact irritation (redness, stinging) | Rare | Possible in sensitive skin or with high concentrations. |
| Allergic contact dermatitis | Rare | More likely in individuals with legume sensitivities. |
| Cross-reactivity in legume-allergic individuals | Very rare | Theoretical risk; topical exposure rarely triggers systemic legume allergy. |
