Science

This oil functions primarily as an emollient and moisturizer by delivering essential fatty acids, including linoleic, oleic, palmitic, and stearic acids, which replenish skin lipids and reinforce the natural barrier. This action significantly reduces transepidermal water loss and improves overall skin texture. Furthermore, its rich composition of antioxidants, such as tocopherols (Vitamin E) and polyphenolic compounds like daidzein and genistein, actively neutralizes free radicals and mitigates environmental oxidative stress. These compounds contribute to its anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and soothing properties. Glycine Soja Oil has also demonstrated potential in influencing melanin transfer and disrupting melanin processes from UVB-induced inflammation, suggesting a role in reducing hyperpigmentation. Preliminary evidence also indicates its capacity to stimulate collagen and elastin production, contributing to skin firmness and elasticity.
