HYD

7/10

Concern level

High concern

A soy-derived hydrolysate used primarily as a skin-conditioning ingredient. It is a hydrolyzed extract of soybean material and is generally positioned to support feel, softness, and moisture retention rather than as a strong treatment active.

Risks & Warnings

Main concern is potential sensitivity in people with soy allergy or very reactive skin, since this is a soy-derived protein/extract ingredient. CIR concluded soy proteins and peptides are safe in cosmetics in present practices of use and concentration, but hydrolyzed soy protein extract itself was not reported as being in use in the 2015 review, so ingredient-specific public data are limited.
