Entering the year 2024, trends in the personal care field haven't changed much compared to 2023. Essentially, 2024 still revolves around trends that promote anti-aging, skin minimalism, and eco-friendly personal care. Specifically, the latter category is one of the most crucial concerning the world's long-term plans for sustainable development. Achieving this involves preserving nature and the environment while minimizing damage.

One way is by using natural raw materials like soybeans. The consumption and use of seeds and legumes have long been practiced by some people. This is evident from a journal published by the National Center for Health Statistics titled "Consumption Among U.S Adults 2009-2010”.

Data compiled from 2009 to 2010 shows that 40% of adults consume nuts. Additionally, 43.6% of Hispanic residents frequently consume legumes. Meanwhile, 80% of men and 79.7% prefer consuming these raw materials without any toppings.

One of the raw materials containing ingredients like this is soybean. This raw material has significant benefits. According to the BetterHealth health website, the benefits of soybeans include reducing the risk of various health problems, such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, coronary heart disease (CHD), and some cancers, as well as improving bone health.

Not only does soybean have an impact on body health, but it also holds benefits for the skin. Soybeans themselves aren't an active ingredient in skincare, but soybean oil is. Soybean oil is a natural emollient that can soften, moisturize the skin, and shield it from external damage.

According to Mordor Intelligence, the Soybean Oil Market size is projected to grow from USD 84.06 billion in 2023 to USD 140.62 billion by 2028, with a CAGR of 10.84% during the forecast period (2023-2028).

Soybean oil combined with glycerol or fatty acids supports the creation of sunscreen, foundation, and creams.

So, soybean oil, containing a significant amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids, undergoes metathesis, hydrogenation, and modification by adding polar groups. The outcome is an emulsifying wax with thickening properties when combined with various cosmetic oils, capable of creating pH and electrolyte-tolerant emulsions. This wax can thicken and emulsify at low usage levels, reducing the number of ingredients needed to formulate a product.

Not only soybean oil, there's also castor bean derived from a plant called Ricinus. This plant belongs to the perennial flowering plant category in the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae. It represents the only species in the singular genus, Ricinus, and the subtribe, Ricininae.

All of this is present in the Finaster ™ 3042 content, which serves as a natural, liquid, and cold-processible emulsifier. Not only that, but Finaster also offers better water resistance, long-wear, and high coverage in Foundations & Sun Care formulations. Its INCI name is Polyglycerol Polyricinoleate.
