Our take
Is Hydrolyzed Soy Flour a Good Ingredient?
Rated Good because it provides short peptides and amino acids that improve conditioning and the feel of hydration, with generally low irritation in leave-on formulas. The evidence supports sensory and moisture benefits rather than strong clinical outcomes, which is why it stays at Good instead of Great.
