Genistein, a phytoestrogen or plant hormone, is present in soybeans and is used in skincare products for its antioxidant and skin-brightening properties. According to studies, this phytoestrogen can encourage postmenopausal women to produce more collagen. Know more about this wondrous plant hormone with the help of this article.
What is GENISTEIN?
A promising anti-ageing and anticarcinogenic agent for skin is genistein, the major isoflavone found in soybeans and fermented soy diets. It has been recommended for topical application to delay skin ageing after menopause due to its antioxidant qualities.
What are the benefits of Genistein in skincare?
Genistein is a potent source of antioxidants with remarkable skin-soothing capabilities, and research demonstrates that it has a variety of positive effects on the skin, both when applied topically and when consumed. Genistein demonstrates anti-ageing benefits when applied topically. Additionally, it can help to lessen the prominence of wrinkles. In addition, it may shield skin from sun damage’s effects.
When combined with isoflavone daidzein in a single formula, which is a source of phytoestrogens—which are not hormones but can link with receptor sites on the skin’s surface and make it appear and feel younger—it penetrates the skin more effectively and performs even better.
