The details

Glycine Soja Seed Extract comes from the seed of the wild soybean plant. Wild soybean extract contains fatty acids ( linoleic , oleic , linolenic ), vitamin E , and antioxidants. The wild soybean contains soyasaponins, a bioactive compound. Soyasaponins have inflammatory, antimutagenic, anticarcinogenic, antimicrobial properties. Soyasaponin has also been found to inhibit the melanin-creation process. Two powerful components found in the wild soybean include genistein and diadzein. These two isoflavones are potent antioxidants with anti-inflammatory properties. Genistein in particular has been found to prevent redness caused by UV exposure. One study from South Korea found wild soybean extract to help promote hair growth at the cellular level. The wild soybean plant is a cousin to the famous soybean that gives us tofu, soy milk, and soy sauce.
