About

A soy-derived isoflavone glycoside with phytoestrogenic activity that may influence skin aging processes, though concerns exist about hormonal effects.

Genistein glucoside is a glycosylated derivative of genistein, an isoflavone primarily sourced from soybeans. Genistein has known phytoestrogenic activity, which has led to regulatory scrutiny in the EU. While not currently banned, cosmetic use of strong phytoestrogens is watched closely. It is listed on CosIng without specific restrictions but should be used with awareness of its endocrine-active nature. PubChem CID: 5284639.
