How do you use Soybean Extract?

Due to its gentle and versatile nature, soybean extract has become a popular ingredient in a wide variety of skincare products. These include toners, cleansers, moisturisers, serums, and eye creams. It readily integrates with most other active ingredients, known to work well with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and vitamin C in formulations. This allows for the creation of targeted skincare solutions with combined benefits.

Soybean extract boasts a great safety profile (EWG rating of 1), making it suitable for most skin types. However, some with oily or acne-prone skin might experience intolerance due to its slightly higher comedogenic rating. Remember, everyone’s skin reacts differently, so a patch test is crucial. Unlike many actives, soybean extract is a morning-and-night friend – it’s not photosensitive.4

Can you use Soybean Extract when you’re pregnant?

While topical application of soybean extract is generally considered safe, pregnant and breastfeeding individuals may want to exercise caution before incorporating it into their skincare routine. This is due to the presence of isoflavones, a type of phytoestrogen with weak oestrogen-like effects.

Pregnancy is a time of significant hormonal changes, and some individuals may prefer to avoid products containing ingredients that mimic or interact with oestrogen in the body. Although the amount of isoflavones absorbed through topical application is typically low, consulting a healthcare provider before using soybean extract during pregnancy is highly recommended.
