PEG-5 Soyamine

PEG-5 Soyamine is a derivative of natural soy proteins that acts primarily as an emollient and humectant. It helps to maintain the skin's hydration levels by drawing moisture from the environment and forming a barrier on the skin's surface, which reduces transepidermal water loss. Additionally, it can improve the texture of formulations and provide a conditioning effect on the skin.
