Glycine Soja Seed Extract description

_Glycine soja_ seed extract is derived from soybean and offers numerous benefits for skin. Of note, studies have shown that compounds in soy, most likely isoflavones, help fade stubborn discolourations from sun exposure and other sources. They help to reduce excess transfer of melanin to skin’s surface, thereby visibly reducing hyperpigmentation.
