For all over body care, UnVail Skinny Dip Scent Hydrating Lotion has been introduced in the United States. The product incorporates soy germ extract, chosen as an ingredient for replenishing vital nutrients and vitamins to keep skin soft. White tea was also infused into the product to further promote the product’s antioxidant properties.

Hydrogenated soy phospholipids can be found in the Japanese product Kose Predia White Spa Cream Massage. The cream is said to suppress melanin formation and brown spots and is a medicated quasi-drug. Soy will continue gaining ground in all areas of skin care, with a higher volume of mainstream global products predicted on the horizon.
