Garden cress sprout extract (INCI: Lepidium Sativum Sprout Extract) is a plant extract from the germinated plant, rich in sulfur compounds, vitamins, and polyphenols. In cosmetics it is used for its antioxidant profile and for bringing comfort to the skin, mostly in serums and creams aiming to protect against oxidative stress. As an active it is supporting. Plant antioxidants help counter free radicals, but the real effect on skin is mild and the specific clinical base for this extract is limited. It works better as a complement in a well-built formula than as a lead component. For topical use there is no relevant systemic risk. It can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Tolerance is good, with low irritation and allergy potential, fine for sensitive skin. It is not noted as comedogenic or drying.
