Functions
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Humectant
A moisture magnet. Pulls water from the air and deeper skin layers up to the surface to keep skin plump and hydrated.
Boosts collagen production
Reduces fine lines
Traditional Use
Soybean has been used in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine for centuries. Modern extraction of soy peptides for skincare is a contemporary application developed to provide amino acids and hydration.
