Fenugreek refers to the seeds of Trigonella foenum-graecum L., an aromatic legume widely used as a culinary spice and as a botanical raw material in wellness products. In supplements it is most often found as seed powder, seed extract, or a standardised extract, presented in capsules, tablets, or drink-mix powders. The seed naturally contains fibre and mucilaginous polysaccharides, alongside saponins and other characteristic plant constituents of this species. In cosmetics it is mainly used as a seed extract under the INCI name Trigonella Foenum-Graecum Seed Extract, incorporated into water- or glycerin-based systems for skin and hair products. It may also appear as an aromatic derivative (e.g., an absolute) in fragranced formulas. On labels it can be listed as “seed”, “seed powder”, or “seed extract”, depending on the chosen form.
