Glycine Soja Oil Description

Soybean oil’s antioxidant content includes polyphenols known as isoflavones, particularly daidzein and genistein. These have been shown to help protect skin from UV light-triggered damage. The antioxidants in soy can also help maintain hydration by preventing water loss.

In oil form, soy can help maintain skin’s smooth, supple surface thanks to its blend of fatty acids such as palmitic, stearic, oleic, and linoleic. These fatty acids in the oil plus the naturally-present antioxidants are responsible for the soothing effect soy has in the presence of external aggressors.
