Soybeans contain important minerals (manganese, iron, copper , phosphorus, magnesium, selenium, zinc, calcium and potassium). The high content of vitamin E (in soybean oil) has the effect of a powerful antioxidant, simultaneously protecting the skin from harmful free radicals. Vitamin E whitens scars and spots, protects the skin from burns and promotes the growth of new skin cells. Soybean oil is quickly absorbed, improves and evens tone and prevents wrinkles. It is used as a mosquito repellent. It has SPF 10.
