Expert Verdict

Jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis) naturally contains concanavalin A, a potent lectin - fermentation and extraction processes should deactivate this; limited published CIR or SCCS safety assessments specific to this ferment. Jack bean is rich in proteins and urease; Bacillus fermentation breaks down complex proteins into bioactive peptides; triple-function ingredient (humectant + conditioner + protectant)
