Glycine Soja (Soybean) Protein, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein Extract, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Peptide and Soy Amino Acids are ingredients obtained from the soybean plant, Glycine soja. Polypeptides are chains of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Hydrolyzed proteins are proteins that have been broken down into smaller chains of amino acids. Glycine Soja (Soybean) Peptide is the di- and tripeptide fraction of soybean protein. Soy Amino Acids result when soy protein is completely hydrolyzed.

In cosmetics and personal care products, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Protein Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein Extract, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Peptide and Soy Amino Acids may used in the formulation of body, hand, face, and neck products, hair conditioners, hair dyes and colors, wave sets, shampoos, other hair care products, skin care products and mascara. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) includes soy protein on its list of indirect food additives considered Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) as a substance migrating to food from paper and paperboard products. Hydrolyzed Soy Protein is permitted for use as an indirect food additive as a component of paper and paper board.

Botanical and botanically derived ingredients used in the formulation of cosmetics are generally mild and safe. Prior to marketing the finished cosmetic product, the safety of each ingredient must be substantiated in accordance with 21 CFR 740.10. Safety substantiation of cosmetic ingredients may include tests for ocular and skin irritation as well as allergenicity, phototoxicity, photoallergenicity and mutagenicity, depending on the application or intended use. There is a considerable body of information about the safety of botanical ingredients and a well established history of use. These resources are consulted to ensure the safety of these materials as they are used in cosmetics.In selecting botanical ingredients for preparation of cosmetic products, formulators rely on the extensive history of their preparation and use. Such materials have been used for a long time and, based upon this experience; extensive knowledge of their safety has been gained. In the situation of newly identified botanicals in the cosmetic industry, appropriate ocular and skin safety studies are conducted prior to release into general commerce. There are many different references that describe the isolation, use and safety of botanical preparations.

The FDA’s Select Committee on GRAS Substances (SCOGS) concluded that there is no evidence in the available information on Soy Protein isolate that demonstrates, or suggests reasonable grounds to suspect, a hazard to the public when it is used at levels that are now current or might reasonably be expected in the future. http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/opascogc.html

Because some people are allergic to soybeans, the FDA Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act requires that all food containing soybeans be clearly labeled. Information about the FDA Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/alrguid4.html

Bioque Serum XL contain B peptide E-L. According to http://www.bestantiwrinkleeyecreams.com/bioque-serum-xl-review/, B peptide E-L is same as hydrolyzed soy protein which is a common ingredients in skin care products. It seems unnecessary for an award winning company to use a different name for this common, anti-wrinkle ingredient. It is found in many other products that need several levels of moisturizers.
