Brassica Alba Sprout Extract

Brightening, soothing, rejuvenating

Key Benefits

  • Supports skin conditioning
  • May enhance temporary visible fullness
  • Promotes a revitalized appearance
  • Provides mustard-sprout phytonutrients

How It Works

White mustard sprouts are rich in glucosinolates such as sinalbin. Enzymatic breakdown can generate pungent compounds that stimulate a transient warming or flushing response, which may make targeted areas appear more colorful or full.

The effect is temporary and depends on extract standardization, concentration, delivery, and co-ingredients. Because mustard-derived materials may sting or irritate, conservative use and patch testing are important, especially near lips.
