Glycine Max (Soybean) Oil

Glycine max (soybean) oil is the oil extracted from domesticated soybeans, as opposed to wild soybean (Glycine soja). Though there are some genetic differences between the two varieties, Glycine max oil shares many of the same benefits of Glycine soja oil.\n\nIn addition to the antioxidant properties most plant oils have, Glycine max oil contains fatty acids – among the linoleic, oleic, and linolenic acids – which help restore skin’s natural moisturizing factor and shore up its barrier.\n\nThe independent Cosmetic Ingredient Review panel has deemed several components of the Glycine max (soybean) plant safe as used in cosmetics, as well as the oil of the related Glycine soja, though it has not ruled specifically on Glycine max oil yet.
