Pollen Extract
What Pollen Extract is & what it does
Pollen Extract is a botanical ingredient derived from flower pollen, the fine powder produced by seed plants. In cosmetic formulas it is commonly used as a conditioning and antioxidant-style botanical, valued for its content of amino acids, vitamins, and plant sugars. It typically appears at low levels in serums and creams as a marketing-forward natural active rather than a primary functional ingredient. It is not a UV filter and carries no specific flagged concerns in this catalog.
