Barrier support ingredient
Glycine Soja (Soybean) Peptide
Glycine Soja (Soybean) Peptide is a hydrolyzed soy protein fraction consisting of small peptides (oligopeptides and amino acids) derived from soybean. The peptide fraction is separated from larger proteins and lipids, providing a concentrated mixture of skin-conditioning small molecules. In cosmetics it functions as a barrier-supportive humectant and skin conditioner, contributing bioactive peptides with potential collagen-stimulating and elasticity-improving activity.
Also known as: soybean peptide, hydrolyzed soy peptide

Benefits
- ✓Soy protein hydrolysate peptide fraction containing small bioactive peptides (2–10 amino acids) with documented skin-conditioning, moisture-retention, and barrier-supportive activity
- ✓Soy-derived peptides include those with ACE-inhibitory and collagen-stimulating activity in vitro; the cosmetically relevant fraction improves skin elasticity and hydration in short-term use studies
- ✓Provides a reservoir of amino acids for natural moisturizing factor replenishment, supporting stratum corneum moisture balance
Watch for
- ⚠Soy-derived; individuals with severe soy food allergy should exercise caution with topical application, although the allergenicity of extensively hydrolyzed peptides is substantially lower than intact soy protein
Compatibility
✓ Works well with
+ Ceramide NP+ Sodium Hyaluronate+ Niacinamide
