Soy Benefits in Skincare

Glycine max, commonly known as soybean in North America or soya bean, is a species of legume native to East Asia, widely grown for its edible bean which has numerous uses. Wikipedia 
Soy-derived ingredients are increasingly found in skin care products, usually as genistein, a soy isoflavone. There are good reasons why some moisturizers and night creams include soy isoflavones: they brighten the skin, decrease redness, boost collagen production and improve skin tone.

Soybean Oil

Soybean Oil is produced from the seeds of the soybean plant. Organic soybean oil is considered very beneficial for the healthy skin. It rich in linoleic acid, which is a type of omega-6 fatty acid, vitamins B, E and K. Soy oil can help reverse some of the symptoms of sun damage like blotchiness, fine lines, skin roughness, discoloration and provides skin with a healthy glow. It is strong antioxidant. It improves the firmness of the skin by promoting the production of collagen and the repair of damaged elastin fibers. Elastin fibers and collagen work together keeping the skin firm. Soy oil is very effective anti-wrinkle and anti-aging oil. Organic soybean oil has great moisturizing and skin soothing qualities. 

Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Soy Peptide

Hydrolyzed Soy Protein are proteins that have been broken down into smaller chains of amino acids by reaction with water. Soy Amino Acids result when soy protein is completely hydrolyzed. When used in skin care products it increases the ability of the skin to hold moisture and provides a smoothing effect for minimizing roughness and wrinkles. Soy is an awesome source of Isoflavones. The role of isoflavones is widely appreciated and is currently the subject of intense research. Isoflavones appear to protect the skin against hormone-related aging, such as in menopause. And isoflavones can have estrogenic activity, for instance if during menopause the body's natural level of estrogen drops, isoflavones can compensate by binding to the same receptor sites. As we age, our hormone levels drop and our skin, the biggest organ, shows the results. Hydrolyzed Soy Protein helps bring back a youthful radiance in skin care.
