Antioxidant Skin Conditioning Moisturizing Collagen Boosting Anti-aging Hair Thickening Hair Strengthening Hair Protection (Pollution) Hair Smoothing Anti-frizz Brightening Soothing Barrier Support

Science

Mechanism of Action

Pisum Sativum Peptide functions as a protective film-former, enhancing moisture retention and fortifying the skin and hair barrier. Its powerful antioxidant capabilities neutralize reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby mitigating oxidative stress at a cellular level. The peptide actively stimulates collagen production, crucial for maintaining dermal-epidermal junction integrity and reinforcing the skin's structural matrix. It additionally supports natural skin renewal processes, promoting cell regeneration, strengthening skin architecture, and reducing the appearance of fine lines. This ingredient also exhibits properties that can reduce melanin for an even skin tone, soothe irritation, support a healthy skin microbiome, and protect dermal proteins by inhibiting elastase and collagenase activity.

Key findings

  1. 01 Reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in fibroblasts by 28% and 41% respectively, demonstrating significant attenuation of oxidative stress.
  2. 02 Demonstrated significantly lower levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) in hair samples exposed to air pollution, indicating robust protection against lipid peroxidation.
  3. 03 Increased hair diameter by an average of 14.08% immediately and 13.65% after four hours, providing notable thickening benefits.
  4. 04 Increased hair hydration in an in-vivo study, comparable to a 5.0% solution of Wheat Hydrolysate.
  5. 05 Exhibited positive collagen synthesis activity, suggesting potential improvement in dermal-epidermal junction integrity and scaffolding matrix for a younger and healthier complexion.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Safe as used
Sensitization risk Low

The CIR Expert Panel and European Cosmetics Directive have deemed Pisum Sativum (Pea) Protein safe for cosmetic use, with FDA GRAS status for lip products. It is generally well-tolerated, with in vitro studies indicating non-irritating and non-sensitizing properties. A patch test is recommended for individuals with highly sensitive skin. There is a potential for cross-reactivity with peanut allergens in individuals with a known pea allergy.
