Functions
Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Moisturizer
Adds or helps retain water in the skin. Could work as a humectant, emollient, or occlusive depending on the ingredient.
Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
Soybean flour has been used in traditional Asian skincare for centuries as a gentle cleanser and skin-conditioning powder; particularly valued in Japanese and Chinese beauty practices for its moisturizing properties.
