Soybean peptide, also known as hydrolyzed soy protein, is derived from soybeans, a legume native to East Asia, widely cultivated for its edible bean, which has numerous uses [1]. This peptide is created through the hydrolysis of soy protein.

The production process of soybean peptide typically involves several key steps. The initial step is selecting high-quality soybeans. These soybeans then undergo a process of cleaning and extraction to isolate the soy protein. Following extraction, the soy protein is hydrolyzed, usually through enzymatic hydrolysis, to break down the protein into smaller peptide fragments [2]. The resulting solution is refined and purified to concentrate the soybean peptides. Finally, the purified soybean peptide solution is dried into a powder form.

Soybean peptides are known for their potential efficacy and functions in skincare. They are often used for their moisturizing properties, helping to hydrate the skin and improve its texture [3]. Additionally, soybean peptides are believed to have antioxidant properties, protecting the skin from environmental damage. They may also contribute to collagen synthesis, potentially reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles [4].

In terms of application scenarios, soybean peptide is commonly found in various cosmetic products. It is used in moisturizers, serums, facial masks, and anti-aging creams. The inclusion of soybean peptide in these products aims to enhance skin hydration, protect against oxidative stress, and promote a more youthful appearance.

For packaging, soybean peptide is generally packaged in airtight containers to prevent moisture absorption and maintain its stability. During transportation, it is important to protect the product from extreme temperatures and humidity. Proper handling and storage are essential to ensure the quality and efficacy of the soybean peptide.
