A focus on Genistein. What is it and what are the benefits for your skin?

We share why genistein is an important additive to our moisturiser. Hence why the skin healing benefits are nothing short of miraculous.

A quick overview

Genistein belongs to a set of compounds known as isoflavones, which are sources of phytoestrogens.

• Commonly derived from soy
• Acts on estrogen receptors, without posing the risk for breast cancer like estrogen does
• Contains anti-oxidant and skin-soothing properties
• Shown to visibly improve signs of aging that occur or accelerate during menopause.

Genistein Description

A naturally occurring plant ingredient, genistein belongs to a group of compounds known as isoflavones. Isoflavones are sources of phytoestrogens, also known as plant estrogens. They are not hormones. So they work differently by connecting with receptor sites on the skin’s surface. This helps the skin look and feel younger. Genistein is most often derived from soy but can also be produced synthetically.

How does Hernuvin use it to benefit you?

Hernuvin has been specifically designed to address the needs of traumatised and estrogen-depleted skin from chemotherapy. This is why genistein is an important additive to our moisturiser. It’s skin healing benefits are nothing short of miraculous.

The benefits to skin

Our experience and research shows that genistein has the following multiple benefits for skin, when it is used topically:

• Impressive skin-soothing properties: As an isoflavone, genistein is a rich source of anti-oxidants that have impressive skin-soothing properties.
• Anti-aging effects: Applied to skin, genistein exhibits anti-aging effects, including reducing the visible appearance of wrinkles and helping protect skin from the effects of sun damage.
• It penetrates skin better than “sister” isoflavone daidzein. This is due to the affinity for key receptor sites found on the skin’s surface.
• Improves signs of aging and dry skin: Emerging studies also show genistein has a special ability to improve signs of aging (wrinkles and fine-lines)and dry skin that are common during menopause.
• Shown great results for skin elasticity, photoaging, and skin cancer prevention.
• Increases collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid production
• Thickens the dermis and epidermis
• Improves the moisture content of the skin
• Decreases cellular ageing
