Soybean Oil
A nutrient-rich carrier oil from soybean seeds containing linoleic and linolenic acids essential for barrier function. Phytoestrogen content is present but not absorbed systemically from topical application, graded low concern by regulatory assessments.
Phytoestrogens in soybean oil are fearmongered as hormone disruptors, but the concentrations in topical products are negligible and research does not support absorption or systemic activity from cosmetic use.
