Glycine Soja Oil / Soybean Oil
Ingredient Info
Soybean oil is a plant-derived oil extracted from soy beans. In skincare, it acts as an emollient and occlusive, helping to soften skin and lock in moisture by forming a protective barrier on the skin's surface.
Benefits
- Moisturizes and softens skin
- Helps reduce water loss from skin
- Contains natural antioxidants like vitamin E
- Generally lightweight and non-comedogenic
Potential concerns
- Potential allergen for individuals with soy sensitivity
- May cause breakouts in acne-prone individuals
- Soy is a common allergen; patch test before use if you have known soy allergies
Science: Limited peer-reviewed data available specifically for cosmetic use of soybean oil. General literature supports plant oils as effective emollients; soybean oil is recognized as safe for topical use by regulatory bodies, though allergic contact dermatitis is possible in sensitive individuals.
