“Clinical and scientific studies both show
that soy works to reduce blotchiness and discoloration by
evening out the appearance of pigments within the skin's
surface. Soy proteins can also work to moisturize skin and
reduce the appearance of fine lines. Overall, soy is an
especially appealing ingredient for women who want an
all-natural, simple beauty routine without compromising
effectiveness and quality." Dr. Cheryl Burgess M.D.
Vitamin-rich soybean oil has a small molecular structure which
enables it to penetrate the epidermis – the top layer of your
skin. Soy can actually nestle into the cellular structure and
stimulate the synthesis of collagen, elastin, and other
proteins. Its properties are important for cell growth and
regeneration by reversing abnormal cell formations.
Soy-based skin care products can even out skin tone and can
correct pigmentation brought about by hormonal changes and
damaging sun exposure. Soy is naturally rich in Vitamin E,
essential fatty acids, and lecithin which benefit the skin when
applied topically. Topical application of Vitamin E has been
said to promote healing and regeneration through its antioxidant
properties. Essential fatty acids can help moisturize the
collagen below the skin surface, and lecithin is known
to help
maintain the elasticity of the skin, helping to smooth out fine
lines and prevent
premature aging.
Soy contains phytoestrogens – plant estrogens, that help your
skin cells rejuvenate, but don’t
worry, this type of estrogen
will not go into your blood stream. Even though the molecular
structure of soy is smaller than other oils, the soy cannot get
into the blood stream due to the two skin
layers under the
epidermis.
"It is now clear that the ability of natural soy to deliver
multiple benefits to the skin plays a lead role in
high
performance skin care." Jeanette Graf M.D. Board-certified
