Solgen C is 98 percent watrer soluble and aimed at cosemtic manutacturers worldwide to be used as an ingredient in oil-based solutions such as face creams, skin care and sunscreen products.

Solgen 10/S contains 10 percent soy isoflavones, which have naturally high levels of genistein and daidzein.

SPE's soy extracts are made from non-GMO Identity Preserved soybeans.
