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.
Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Humectant
A moisture magnet. Pulls water from the air and deeper skin layers up to the surface to keep skin plump and hydrated.

Traditional Use
Soybeans have been used in traditional Asian medicine for over 5,000 years. Modern soy seed extracts were developed in the 20th century to concentrate bioactive compounds including isoflavones believed to support skin health and reduce signs of aging.
