Glycine Soja

(Hydrolyzed Soy Proteins)

Hydrolyzed proteins are those proteins that are broken in smaller chains of aminoacids: in this case, they are obtained by hydrolysis of Soy seeds, derived from the Glycine Soja plant. Used in the East since ancient times, Soy was imported into the West by the Jesuits in the 17th century.

Features

Soy is a leguminous plant and its seeds have a very high content of proteins: about 37% of their weight. These proteins play also a crucial role in cosmetics, as they can revitalize the cutaneous metabolism. Moreover, being rich in aminoacids, they are essential for collagen, elastin and keratin synthesis.
