Soy Germ CO2-to extract (organic), DE-ÖKO-013
Product-No.: 200.001
Raw Material:
Glycine max – Germs, dried, from organic farming
Production:
By supercritical fluid extraction with natural carbon dioxide no solvent residues, no inorganic salts, no heavy metals, no reproducible microorganisms [1]. The extract is stabilized with FLAVEX Rosemary Antioxidant (organic).
Ingredients:
see specification
Application:
The soy germ extract is rich in phytosterols. These secondary plant substances have photoprotective properties and thus prevent skin damage caused by UV radiation, which is responsible for the aging of the skin, among other things [2,3]. In addition, phytosterols support the regeneration of the skin barrier and thus prevent the formation of wrinkles [4]. Soy germ extract is therefore used in anti-aging and moisturising products.*
