why we use glycine soja (soybean) oil

The Basics

Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil is a plant-derived emollient known for its rich composition of essential fatty acids, including linoleic and oleic acids. These lipids help reinforce the skin barrier, improving moisture retention and reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL). This makes it particularly beneficial for maintaining smooth, hydrated skin.

Naturally containing tocopherols (Vitamin E) and phytosterols, soybean oil provides antioxidant benefits that help protect the skin from environmental stressors. Its lipid-rich profile supports skin barrier function, enhancing resilience and overall skin health.
