Key Ingredients
SOY (GLYCINE SOJA) EXTRACT
• unique soy extract that isolates soy isoflavones (unlike other products that only use the protein)
• soy isoflavones are phytoestrogens that have
estrogen-like benefits
• provides antioxidant protection
• Background: Research suggests that estrogen deficiencies during and following menopause may contribute to signs of aging in skin. Systemic and topical estrogens have been shown to counter these effects, and to have antioxidant properties. Although much weaker, soy isoflavones (phytoestrogens) have been shown to have estrogen-like benefits, and to have antioxidant effects, making them ideal for use on maturing skin.
VITAMIN E (ALPHA -TOCOPHEROL)
• pure vitamin E (not a derivative)
• provides powerful antioxidant protection
• Background: Vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) is the body's most important lipid (fat) soluble antioxidant, especially in cell membranes and lipoproteins. As an antioxidant, it protects other fat-soluble vitamins from oxidative damage. It is necessary for tissue repair; it is a natural
anticoagulant and promotes healing. Derivatives of vitamin E are good moisturizers, but do not have the same effects as vitamin E, because they are not antioxidants.
