Sodium olivate is created by saponifying olive oil. It is a sodium salt of olive oil and has cleansing properties.
Saponification is the chemical process of turning fats/oils into soap by reacting them with an alkali, typically sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide.

There's also some in-vitro evidence that soybean extract stimulate collagen and elastin synthesis. A 2025 mouse study found Glycine Soja leaf/stem extract reduced markers of atopic dermatitis-like inflammation and improved skin barrier function.
