Interactions
incompatible with: known soy allergy or legume allergy concerns, highly acidic formulations without supplier stability data, strong oxidizing systems that may degrade botanical actives
Risks & Warnings
Primary concern is sensitivity in individuals with soy or legume allergy, although cosmetic extracts are not the same as food proteins and risk varies by purification and composition. Botanical variability is high, so activity and allergen profile depend on the extraction method. Occasional mild irritation is possible in very reactive skin.
