Frequently asked questions

Is glycine soja extract safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification exists for Glycine soja extract and CIR/Cosmetic-industry safety reviews have not flagged the ingredient as a reproductive teratogen; however, soy isoflavone constituents have demonstrated estrogenic activity in vitro (theoretical mechanism). Dermal cosmetic use is not associated with documented reproductive harm in authoritative safety assessments, and dermal absorption from typical cosmetic use is expected to be negligible.
Is glycine soja extract safe while breastfeeding?
No authoritative safety assessments (CIR/SCCS/ECHA harmonised CLP) identify Glycine soja extract as a lactation/breastfeeding hazard. Potential mechanism is theoretical (phytoestrogen content), but there is no direct evidence of harm from topical cosmetic use or of clinically relevant transfer via breast milk from topical use.
Is glycine soja extract safe for baby skin?
No evidence indicates Glycine soja extract is a developmental or infant teratogen when used topically; hazard is not identified in authoritative reviews. Mechanistic concern is theoretical (contains isoflavones with estrogenic activity). Because infant skin has higher permeability and surface-area-to-weight, exposure score is increased by +1 relative to adults (adult topical absorption considered negligible to low, so infant exposure considered low-measurable).
