FAQ about soybean vegetable oil

Is soybean oil comedogenic?

With a comedogenicity index of 2, the soybean oil should be used sparingly by individuals with oily or acne-prone skin.

Can soybean oil combat stretch marks?

The moisturising, softening, and antioxidant properties of soybean oil may potentially help in preventing stretch marks. However, to date, no study has demonstrated that soybean oil has an effect on stretch marks.

Is soybean oil an endocrine disruptor?

As of now, soybean oil is not officially recognised as an endocrine disruptor. However, it may contain traces of isoflavones, which are phytoestrogens. While it is not certain that these compounds can enter the bloodstream when soybean oil is applied topically, as a precautionary principle, it is recommended that pregnant women and young children exercise caution.

Can soybean oil act against wrinkles?

According to some studies in vitro, the soybean oil could have a notable tightening effect to combat wrinkles. However, this has not yet been confirmed in clinical trials.

Is soybean oil superior to sunflower oil?

The soybean oil and sunflower oil each bring their own cosmetic benefits. The choice between these two oils depends on the desired use. Sunflower oil, for example, is recommended for oily skin, while soybean oil is more commonly suggested to reduce hyperpigmentation.
