Lupinus albus seed extract is an extract from the seeds of the white lupin, a common legume plant cultivated in the Mediterranean region. Fatty oil rich in antioxidants is extracted from the seeds for use in cosmetic products. The seed extract has emollient properties.
The lupine seeds have a tradition of use as a legume. There are two kinds – sweet lupine and bitter lupine, the latter requiring a long soak before cooking to remove the bitter (and slightly poisonous) alkaloids. Lupine flour does not contain any starch and is therefore suitable for a low-carb diet.
People allergic to peanuts should avoid this ingredient, as it has been shown to cause cross-sensitive allergic reactions.
