About this ingredient
Mung bean seed extract (INCI: Phaseolus Radiatus Seed Extract) is a plant extract with proteins, starch and polyphenols. In formulas it brings a soothing, hydrating feel and usually accompanies other actives in products for sensitive skin. As an active it is supportive. Specific clinical evidence is limited, so its realistic role is to improve the product's feel and add a light soothing and hydrating effect, not to fix skin problems on its own. A good supporting player, not the lead. Topically there is no meaningful systemic exposure, so it can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding without concern. Tolerance is very good: irritation and allergy risk are both low. It fits well in products for sensitive and reactive skin and rarely causes reactions.
