Glycine Soja Sterols
What Glycine Soja Sterols is & what it does
Soy-derived sterols that mimic skin lipids, helping reinforce the barrier, soothe, and reduce moisture loss. They add conditioning and antioxidant benefits.
What does Glycine Soja Sterols do in skincare?
Glycine Soja Sterols are sterols derived from soybeans and act as emollients and skin-conditioning agents. In skincare and sunscreen formulas they can help soften skin and support the formula's moisturizing feel. Plant sterols are often included to mimic skin-friendly lipids.
Is Glycine Soja Sterols comedogenic?
Soy-derived sterols are generally used at low levels and are not widely flagged as strongly pore-clogging, though individual responses to plant lipids vary. People who are very prone to breakouts may want to watch how their skin reacts. Patch testing is a reasonable precaution.
Is Glycine Soja Sterols vegan?
Glycine Soja Sterols are derived from soybeans, a plant source, so the ingredient itself is suitable for vegan formulas. A finished product's vegan status still depends on its other ingredients and the brand's policies. The product label is the best place to confirm.
