Soy more than just a sauce ingredient

Soybean is good for bones, blood and skin

Soy: The secret to radiant skin

The soybean is easily overlooked, but it has been shown that this tiny legume might help change how you feel, and even how you look.

Soy isn't just a health food anymore. In addition to being packed with beneficial nutrients and working wonders when it comes to improving bone health, reducing cholesterol, and relieving menopausal symptoms, soy is quickly becoming a proven staple in skin care.

For years, Asian soybean factory workers who handled soy regularly had hands that were especially smooth and even-toned.

“Soy offers multiple benefits inherent in its natural composition, including a rich source of protein, a rich mixture of lipids, and carbohydrates, which are ideal for moisturization. When combined with a mixture of various vitamins with antioxidant benefits, skin can become more radiant,” says Toronto-based dermatologist, Dr. Paul Cohen.

According to research by Johnson & Johnson Consumer Companies Inc., soy proteins can help to even out skin tone by working to reduce blotchiness and discolouration, as well as smooth and soften skin texture, all while moisturizing.

With this insight in mind, Aveeno, a brand known for creating innovative active naturals technologies that combine nature with science, formulated their exclusive total soy complex. It was created in a unique way, processing the soybean so it retains its naturally active benefits and ultimately provides a concentrated form of soy. Total soy complex is found in the brand's Positively Radiant daily moisturizers.

Most recently, the company added a new eye product containing total soy complex to its skincare roster. The new Positively Radiant eye illuminator features a mixture of tone-evening soy and vitamin B3, plus light-diffusing technology to help enhance skin's natural radiance. The innovative design of the brush applicator helps target the areas most in need.
