Lens Esculenta (Lentil) Seed Extract description

_Lens esculenta_ (lentil) seed extract is a plant-derived, antioxidant-rich ingredient obtained from lentil seeds. This natural ingredient has a rich bioactive profile comprised of phenolic compounds and flavonoids, alongside other impressive compounds. These compounds exhibit strong antioxidant activity and when applied to skin can help protect it from damaging external aggressors, like pollution and UV rays. Left unchecked, these damaging external agents can reduce skin’s elasticity, create an uneven tone and lead to fine lines and wrinkles. _Lens esculenta_ (lentil) seed extract also boasts skin soothing properties. Studies revolving around wound dressings and healing in the medical field have revealed that _Lens esculenta_ (lentil) seed extract helps sooth skin due to its flavonoid components and its ability to help minimize the occurrence of unwanted, harmful organisms. Other sites and studies claim that this legume-derived ingredient can help hydrate, control sebum production and reduce visible pore size. However, more independent studies are needed to verify these findings. Typical use levels of _Lens esculenta_ (lentil) seed extract in cosmetics range from 5.0–10.0% but this is when the extract is supplied in a water, glycerin and preservative base.
