Concern level

High concern

A hydrolyzed botanical extract from Plukenetia volubilis (sacha inchi) seed material. In cosmetics it is used primarily as a skin-conditioning, film-forming, and moisturizing ingredient; hydrolysis breaks seed-derived macromolecules into smaller fractions that are typically used for hydration and sensory/conditioning benefits. Source references describe it as the hydrolysate of Plukenetia volubilis seed extract and note cosmetic use in conditioning formulations.

Because this ingredient is botanical and hydrolyzed, batch-to-batch composition may vary; users with known Euphorbiaceae/seed sensitivities should patch test first. Limited ingredient-specific safety data are available. ([skinwis.com](https://www.skinwis.com/ingredient/hydrolyzed-plukenetia-volubilis-seed-extract?utm_source=openai))
