About this ingredient
Lens Esculenta Seed Extract is an extract obtained from lentil seeds. Its INCI name is Lens Esculenta Seed Extract. In a formula it supplies sugars, amino acids and trace elements, and it is added as a supportive soothing ingredient. On efficacy it is worth being plain. The manufacturer links this extract to finer-looking pores and a more matte finish, but independent data are thin. It works better as a supportive ingredient and mild conditioner than as an active with proven effect. Do not expect marked results. Applied topically it has no systemic relevance, so it can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Tolerance is high, with a low irritation and allergy potential, and it suits sensitive skin. Most people see no reaction.
