Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract delivers bioavailable peptides and amino acids that closely resemble the skin's Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMFs), facilitating deep hydration and establishing a moisture-retentive network on the skin's surface. These components engage with keratin, strengthening the skin's structural matrix and potentially stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, thereby enhancing skin firmness and elasticity. Additionally, its inherent isoflavones and peptides offer antioxidant protection, bolstering the skin's defense against environmental oxidative stress.

Stability
Optimal stability for similar soy hydrolysates is observed within a pH range of 4.0-7.0. Formulators should note that thermal stability may decrease at lower pH values.
Conflicts
- May aggravate rosacea in some individuals.
- May not be suitable for individuals with melasma due to potential phytoestrogenic effects.
Safety
Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has deemed the available data insufficient to determine the safety of Glycine Max (Soybean) Callus Extract for cosmetic use. Additional information, including comprehensive compositional analysis, impurity profiles, manufacturing methods, 28-day dermal toxicity studies, and sensitization/irritation assessments, has been requested. While soybeans are recognized as food allergens, topical exposure to water-soluble soy derivatives is not typically associated with inducing allergic reactions.
