Soybean Oil Refined

SOYBEAN OIL REFINED

Soybean Oil, or Soya Bean Oil, is obtained from the seeds, or beans, of the Glycine soja plant and is one of the most widely used carrier oils globally, and for good reason!

Soybean Oil is rich in Linoleic Acid, Vitamins (especially Vitamin E), antioxidants, fatty acids and lecithin, all of which can contribute to skin health by nourishing and protecting your skin from damage. Because of this, many skin and haircare products often include Soybean Oil in them to benefit from the potent antioxidant action.

The benefits of Soybean Oil for skin and hair are widely valued, and here’s why:

• Soybean is rich in Vitamin E, an anti-inflammatory antioxidant that can help protect against skin damage. Studies have shown that because of this, Soybean Oil can help to enhance the skins natural barrier and retain moisture, as well as protect against inflammation. Plus, it’s also seen to help ease symptoms of dermatitis and eczema.
• The Essential fatty acid content (Linoleic Acid) helps to moisturize deep below the skins surface and decrease water loss by improving moisture retention, whilst also strengthening the skins moisture barrier.
• It is rich in lecithin, which can help to maintain skin elasticity and firmness by stimulating collagen production – highly beneficial for reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, maintaining a youthful appearance.
• Also rich in Antioxidants, which are vital for protecting skin cells against environmental stressors and free radical damage. These antioxidants work to reduce wrinkles, uneven skin tone and other signs of premature aging.
• Not just beneficial for skin, Soybean Oil benefits for hair are also highly regarded! The nutrients within this oil can help to nourish hair, retain moisture, and even support hair growth.

How to use Soybean Oil

If you're wondering, how do you use Soybean Oil, there are endless possibilities! Below we've listed a few of our favourites:

• Directly on the Skin: Many benefits of Soybean Oil can be received by using it directly on the skin - such as a hydrating facial serum. You can use it on its own, or combined with other Carrier Oils and safe levels of Essential Oils.
• Massage: Use straight, or dilute a few drops of your favourite Essential Oil into 100ml of Soybean Oil to create a soothing and anti-inflammatory massage oil.
• Hair Mask: Apply Soybean Oil directly to your scalp, hair roots, and ends of your hair, to create a nourishing, repairing, and growth-boosting hair mask. Leave for as long as desired and then shampoo well.
• Skincare Formulations: A powerhouse oil for skin, Soybean Oil makes for the perfect addition to your D.I.Y formulations such as face & skin serums, body butters, lotions and moisturizers, where a carrier oil is called for.

Things to consider when using Soybean Oil:
Because of its highly nourishing and hydrating properties, it is very well suited to dry and sensitive skin, however we recommend not to use directly on your skin if you have oily skin as it higher on the comedogenic scale when used straight. In saying this, if used within a formulation at a lower percentage this usually eliminates the potential pore-clogging factors.
