A soybean-derived polypeptide fraction used in cosmetic formulas as a skin-conditioning, moisturizing, and peptide-style active. It is typically included to support a smoother skin feel and may be used in anti-aging or barrier-support products. Soy protein/peptide ingredients have been reviewed by the CIR Expert Panel and considered safe in cosmetics under current practices of use and concentration.

Risks & Warnings

Main concern is rare soy-related sensitization in people with specific soy allergy or very reactive skin. As with most peptide ingredients, irritation risk is generally low. No meaningful comedogenic concern is expected. ([journals.sagepub.com](https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/10915818231174434?utm_source=openai))
