Concern level
High concern

A plant-derived cosmetic powder made from crushed alfalfa seeds (Medicago sativa). In formulations it is primarily used as a skin-conditioning botanical and, depending on particle size and product format, may also contribute mild texture/physical exfoliation. It is not a chemically defined active, so typical efficacy data are limited compared with isolated actives.

Risks & Warnings

Main concerns are individual botanical allergy or sensitivity, especially in users with legume-related allergies. In powder form, fine particles may be mildly abrasive or irritating on compromised skin. As a plant material, quality/contamination control matters (e.g., microbial load, residual agricultural contaminants) depending on supplier processing.
