Glycine Max (Soybean) Oil Description
_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.In 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.
The 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.
