High Oleic Soybean Oil Soap: leaves hands feeling soft and moisturized, even after the repeated washings that are promoted as a safety measure against coronavirus

High oleic soybean oil’s emollient properties are derived from oleic acid, whose structure is very similar to the structure of the oils in our skin. The soybean oil is 60%–75% oleic acid, so cosmetic products that contain high levels of the oil are effective moisturizers.

Benefits:

• Performance: High oleic soybean oil works well as a moisturizer, yet despite its name, the “oil” does not effect an oily look or feel.
• Stability: The crops commonly used for moisturizing oils are more environmentally demanding than soybeans, entailing supply chain interruptions in an era of increasingly unpredictable weather patterns. Soybeans provide a reliable and robust source.
• Cost-Effectiveness: The oils traditionally used to provide a moisturizing effect to soap and other cosmetics are quite expensive compared to soybean oil, a low-cost component.
