Traditional Use
Soybeans have been cultivated in East Asia for over 5,000 years; soy was traditionally used in Chinese medicine and cuisine. Soy lipids and their skin-conditioning properties became recognized in modern skincare in the late 20th century as researchers studied the plant's nutritional and moisturizing compounds.
