Natto Gum and Nut Allergies

Natto Gum is derived from fermented soybeans. Soybeans are a type of legume, not a tree nut. While some people with tree nut allergies may also have allergies to legumes like soy (this is called cross-reactivity), it is not always the case.

If you have a nut allergy, especially if you also have a known allergy or sensitivity to soy or other legumes, you should be cautious when using products containing Natto Gum. The fermentation process might alter some components, but it may not completely eliminate the risk of an allergic reaction for sensitive individuals.

Recommendation:

• If you have a severe allergy, it is always best to consult with a doctor or allergist before using new products containing ingredients derived from potential allergens.
• Perform a patch test on a small area of skin before applying the product to your face to check for any adverse reaction.
