About This Oil
Soya bean oil is extracted from soya beans, legumes that have been cultivated for thousands of years, originating in East Asia before spreading worldwide. This oil typically has a pale yellow appearance and a mild, neutral aroma that makes it versatile for use in various cosmetic formulations.
Soya beans are one of the most widely cultivated crops globally, valued for their nutritional content and versatility. The oil extracted from these legumes has found applications in both culinary and cosmetic uses, making it one of the most accessible and economical plant oils available.
Soya bean oil has a light to medium texture that absorbs reasonably well into skin. Its neutral characteristics and widespread availability make it a practical choice for cosmetic formulators seeking an economical base oil. The oil's mild aroma and light colour ensure it won't interfere with other ingredients in formulations.
This oil has good stability, particularly in refined forms, and maintains its quality when properly stored. The extraction process preserves the oil's naturally occurring nutrients.
