Lupinus Albus Seed Extract

_Lupinus albus_ seed extract is a natural skin care ingredient derived from a legume commonly known as white lupin or white lupine. Rich in antioxidants and fatty acids, it delivers an impressive range of skin benefits including anti-aging, soothing and moisturizing. Beyond its general skin-protective effects, research has also shown Lupinus albus seed extract can offset underlying triggers of uneven melanin production, making it an asset in formulations targeting dark spots. Additionally, lupin seeds are a natural source of peptides with promising skin care applications, though independent clinical studies are needed to fully evaluate the effectiveness in this area. _Lupinus albus_ seed extract and other lupin-derived cosmetic ingredients can be upcycled as byproducts from lupin-related industries (which produce food items like lupin flour and protein isolates, as well as other agricultural products). This sustainable practice helps divert waste and reduce environmental impact by utilizing portions of the plant that would otherwise be discarded. Use levels of _Lupinus albus_ seed extract in skin care typically range from 0.1–2%, the latter being more common when the seed extract is blended with a carrier oil or glycol.
