HYDROLYZED SOYBEAN SEED

Description

Hydrolyzed Soybean Seed is a potent plant-derived ingredient widely used in skincare and haircare formulations. This bioactive compound is obtained through the hydrolysis of soybean proteins, resulting in smaller peptide chains and amino acids that can penetrate the skin and hair more effectively.

Rich in isoflavones, particularly genistein and daidzein, hydrolyzed soybean seed offers powerful antioxidant properties that help combat free radical damage and reduce signs of aging. It also contains essential amino acids and proteins that contribute to skin and hair health. In skincare, it helps improve moisture retention, enhance skin elasticity, and promote a more even skin tone. For haircare applications, it strengthens hair fibers, reduces breakage, and adds shine.

Studies have shown that hydrolyzed soybean seed can stimulate collagen production, potentially reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Its moisturizing properties make it beneficial for dry or sensitive skin types. In hair products, it forms a protective film on the hair shaft, improving manageability and reducing frizz. This versatile ingredient is compatible with most formulations and is suitable for use in a wide range of products, from serums and moisturizers to shampoos and conditioners.
