Our soy bases are some of the highest quality bases on the market today.  We have a high amount of soy lipids in our personal care bases, which you can find as our first or second ingredient in the products.  Many other soy based bases have added soy protein that you will find in the middle or at the end of the listing.  You are losing the benifits of soy when using just the protein instead of lipids, and many of soys' properties when such a small amount is in the product.  Don't be fooled as not all soy bases are created equal! Soy lipids are high in natural vitamin E (an antioxidant).  Antioxidants may help restore damaged tissue and regenerate skin cells.  The lipids also allow for rapid hydration and cell regeneration.  They are high in lecithin, which is instrumental in skin repair and regeneration.  Isoflavones such as genistein and daidzein, the saponins and the natural Vitamin E in soy have been well researched by scientists for their antioxidants and phytoestrogenic properties. The phytoestrogens naturally present in soy lipids are beneficial in the regeneration of skin and help keep women looking youthful as they increase female hormones in skin.  The antioxidants in soy lipids also help in eliminating free oxygen radicals that can lead to skin damage.
