About
Finely-ground soybean flour — natural source of protein, oils, and soothing phytoactives.
Glycine soja flour (CAS 68513-95-1) is ground soybean. It contributes protein, lipids (linoleic-rich triglycerides), saponins, and isoflavones (genistein, daidzein). In cosmetics it acts as an emollient, mild exfoliant, and phytoactive source. Soy is a common food allergen; topical reactions in sensitized individuals are possible though rare for defatted or protein-enriched derivatives. Phytoestrogen content raises theoretical endocrine questions, but topical absorption of isoflavones is very low. No specific CIR monograph; soy-derived ingredients broadly have cosmetic use history without major safety flags.
