During menopause, it’s common to notice changes in your skin—thinning, sagging, dryness, and more visible wrinkles. These shifts are largely due to the drop in estrogen, which leads to a loss of collagen and skin density.

At Morganna’s Alchemy, we believe in harnessing the most effective natural ingredients to support skin through hormonal changes. That’s why we included soy isoflavonoids in our Bijou Serum—to help firm, thicken, and revitalize menopausal skin from within.

🌿 What Are Soy Isoflavonoids?

Soy isoflavonoids are naturally occurring compounds found in soybeans. They’re part of a group called phytoestrogens, which means they can mimic some of the positive effects of estrogen in the body and skin—without being actual hormones.

These compounds are especially beneficial for women in menopause, as they help restore balance, support collagen production, and improve skin structure and tone.

💪 Why They Matter for Menopausal Skin

As estrogen declines, the skin loses its ability to produce collagen at the same pace. At the same time, the collagen that is still present breaks down more quickly. This leads to:

• Thinner, more fragile skin

• Wrinkles and fine lines

• Sagging and loss of firmness

Soy isoflavonoids step in as a natural solution. They help:

• 🔬 Stimulate collagen production by mimicking estrogen’s effects on skin cells

• 🧬 Inhibit the enzymes (MMPs) that break down collagen and elastin

• 📈 Increase skin thickness and density, which is critical for firmness and a youthful look

📊 Backed by Research: What Studies Have Shown

Clinical and lab studies have demonstrated the impressive benefits of soy isoflavonoids for aging skin:

✅ 12% Increase in Skin Thickness

In studies using a topical form of soy isoflavonoids, women showed a noticeable increase in skin thickness—a vital improvement for thinning, menopausal skin.

✅ Visible Lifting Effect

Participants also experienced firmer, more lifted skin, particularly in areas prone to sagging like the cheeks and jawline.

✅ Skin Looked Up to 5 Years Younger

Thanks to improved structure, hydration, and tone, skin appeared more youthful, radiant, and even in texture.

✅ Stronger Basement Membrane

In 3D lab models of full skin, soy isoflavonoids were shown to boost production of Collagen IV—an essential structural protein that supports the skin’s foundation layer and overall integrity.

💧 Why Topical Application Needs a Special Form

Soy isoflavonoids naturally exist in a sugar-bound form (called genistin), which is inactive on the skin. To be effective, they must be converted to their active aglycone form, which is sugar-free and ready to be used by your skin cells.

At Morganna’s Alchemy, we use a liposomal delivery system to encapsulate these active soy isoflavonoids. This technology helps the ingredient:

• Penetrate deeply into the skin (not just sit on the surface)

• Reach the collagen-producing fibroblasts

• Work faster and more efficiently, with no irritation

✨ Why It’s in Morganna’s Bijou Serum

Morganna’s Bijou was designed to support women through menopause and hormonal skin aging. We chose soy isoflavonoids because they address multiple signs of aging at once:

• Boosts collagen and skin density

• Smooths fine lines and softens deeper wrinkles

• Firms sagging areas

• Improves skin tone and hydration

• Works gently, even for sensitive skin

Combined with peptides, antioxidants, and hydrating botanical extracts, soy isoflavonoids add a powerful, plant-based boost to this targeted formula.

🌟 Final Thoughts

If you’re going through menopause and feeling like your skin is changing overnight, you’re not alone—and it’s not just “aging.” It’s biology. And the good news is that you can support your skin from the inside out with the right ingredients.

Soy isoflavonoids offer one of the most researched, effective, and natural solutions for menopausal skin—helping rebuild collagen, increase thickness, and restore the firmness and glow you deserve.

When included in a formulation like Morganna’s Bijou, they become part of a well-rounded, science-backed treatment for mature, changing skin.
