Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient operates primarily as an emollient and moisturizer, effectively supporting and fortifying the skin's natural barrier. Its efficacy is attributed to the presence of beneficial compounds such as lecithins, lectins, and isoflavones, which impart notable anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. Furthermore, certain soy-derived components can modulate skin pigmentation by inhibiting melanosome phagocytosis within keratinocytes.
