Nobody can contest the benefits of soy. For years those little beans have fulfilled our most earnest desire for good health and life. Those little grains with Chinese origins are rich in amino acids and have a high concentration of proteins. Soy is so worthy that it has been replacing just about everything…including meat, milk, and even plastic goods.

When we talk about hormones and their natural replacement and enhancement, we need go no further than Soy and its derivatives. Soy contains a natural hormone-like substance called isoflavone. These isoflavones are components of the soy bean responsible for providing antioxidants and anti-inflamatory effects. Isoflavones, when used in cosmetic, have the same benefits as when ingested.

Isoflavones are actually very popular in cosmetics, because they stimulate the proliferation of fibroblast (new cells), reduce collagen breakdown, prevent lipid oxidation, moisturize and revitalize the skin. All that from the soy bean! Soy peptides act in the skin as conditioning agents by providing moisture.

Plus, isoflavones are high in antioxidants, so they’re recommended for aged skin, dullness, discoloration, blotchiness, or even in sun-damaged skin that has suffered from exposure and deep lines.

Soy products are not as greasy as others products. They are natural options to replace chemicals and provide complex skin care from nature…instead of petroleum-based formulas. One place to start is with good soy cleansing and moisturizing products. Take a look at SoyPure Cleansing Bars for a start.
