Stevia Extract with Alfalfa Galactomannans
Stevia Extract with Alfalfa Galactomannans is a natural plant-derived ingredient used in UK skincare and beauty formulas as a gentle skin-conditioning agent and natural thickener. It combines the soothing properties of stevia leaves with the moisturising galactomannans from alfalfa to leave skin feeling soft, smooth and hydrated without any stickiness.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare, Stevia Extract with Alfalfa Galactomannans functions as a skin-conditioning humectant and rheology modifier. The stevia leaf extract delivers gentle soothing properties while the alfalfa-derived galactomannans form a light, breathable film on the skin that helps bind moisture and improve product texture. It is commonly found in creams, serums, masks and hair care products where it enhances spreadability and provides a silky after-feel.

Where it comes from
Stevia extract is obtained from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant, native to South America. Alfalfa galactomannans are derived from the seeds of Medicago sativa (alfalfa), a nutrient-rich legume widely cultivated across Europe and North America.
