Soya Flour (Glycine Soja)

Glycine soja

When soybean flour is put in contact with warm water it creates a rich, softening milk that soothes the skin and conditions the hair.

Although botanists haven't entirely agreed on the origins of the soy bean (Glycine soja), it is believed that the plant derives from a Chinese legume, Glycine ussuriensis. Soy has been eaten and cultivated in China since 2800 BC, and it was considered one of the five substances essential for living.

Today, the USA is the main grower of soy, and over 90% of the crop is used for animal feed. A whole soy industry has developed around the bean and various materials made from it are widespread today (milk, oil, sauce, tofu, etc.). Every soy product Lush purchase comes from non-GMO beans.
