Hydrolyzed Proteins (e.g., hydrolyzed silk, hydrolyzed wheat protein)
Category: Humectant, conditioning agent
Brief description: Hydrolyzed proteins are protein derivatives that have been broken down into smaller peptides or amino acids, providing humectant and conditioning properties in cosmetic formulations.
Benefits: Helps retain moisture, promotes skin hydration, and improves skin feel.
Skin type suitability/concerns: Suitable for all skin types. Target audience: All age groups and demographics.
Chemical composition: Hydrolyzed proteins are composed of various peptides and amino acids, depending on the source protein.
Physical aspect: Varies depending on the specific protein, but generally available as a clear to slightly hazy, colorless to pale yellow liquid or powder.
Compatibility: Compatible with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients, including water, oils, and emulsifiers.
Concentration: Typically used at 0.5-5% in cosmetic formulations.
Side effects/adverse reactions: Generally safe for use in cosmetics, but may cause irritation or allergic reactions in some individuals, especially those with protein allergies.
Regulatory status: Approved for use in cosmetics worldwide, with no specific restrictions.
Sustainability/ethical considerations: Derived from various natural sources, such as silk, wheat, or other plant-based proteins; sustainability depends on the specific source.
