Soybean (Glycine Soja) Protein inhibits human leukocyte elastase, a proteinase that plays an essential role in irritation processes and accelerated skin aging.

Additional Information

Besides leukocyte elastase Soybean (Glycine Soja) Protein inhibits fibroblast elastase and mast cell tryptase. Tryptase, like elastase, is a non-specific proteinase that plays an extracellular role in inflammation and allergic reactions involving mast cell degranulation. Tryptase is unique,in that it is not inhibited by any endogenous proteinase inhibitors. Interestingly, Soybean (Glycine Soja) Protein does not inhibit pancreatic elastase. This enzyme, however, is of no interest in cosmetology as it is found exclusively in the digestive tract.

Soybean (Glycine Soja) Protein is a very interesting cosmetic ingredient in two respects. First, it is highly effective in inhibiting elastase released to the skin surface after skin irritation caused byUV-exposure or environmental stress as well as under dry skin conditions. Second, it acts as an extremely efficient moisturizer. Soybean (Glycine Soja) Protein thus exhibits both protective and preventive activity.

In formulations, Soybean (Glycine Soja) Protein is compatible with ethanol at concentrations of up to 20%. For skin care preparations, we recommend the addition of 3 to 7% Soybean (Glycine Soja) Protein.
