Pisum Sativum (Pea) Sprout Extract is a plant-derived ingredient rich in peptides, vitamins, and antioxidants, used in skincare for its conditioning, soothing, and protective properties. It is often promoted for supporting skin barrier function and reducing signs of environmental stress, though robust clinical evidence is limited.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Contact irritation (redness, stinging) | Rare | More likely in sensitive or compromised skin; generally well tolerated. |
| Allergic contact dermatitis | Rare | Possible in individuals sensitized to legumes or plant proteins. |
| Cross-reactivity in legume-allergic individuals | Very rare | Theoretical risk due to shared plant protein allergens. |
