What is Hydrolyzed Collagen?
Hydrolyzed Collagen, also known as collagen peptides, is collagen that has been broken down into short chains of amino acids, typically around 3-6 kilodaltons in size. This form of collagen is commonly used in skincare, haircare, and various personal care products due to its beneficial properties.
How is Hydrolyzed Collagen used in skincare and haircare products?
Hydrolyzed Collagen is primarily used as a humectant in skincare products, helping to hydrate the skin and improve its suppleness. It reduces the appearance of dry or damaged skin by restoring suppleness and reducing flaking. In hair care, it enhances the appearance and texture of hair by improving its suppleness and sheen, and it is particularly beneficial for hair that has been physically or overly treated.
What benefits does Hydrolyzed Collagen provide for hair?
When used in hair preparations, Hydrolyzed Collagen improves hair's tensile strength and elongation. It acts as an antistatic agent, emollient, film-former, and hair-conditioning agent, enhancing the look and feel of hair.
What functions does Hydrolyzed Collagen serve in cosmetic formulations?
In formulations, Hydrolyzed Collagen serves several roles, including as an antistatic agent, emollient, film-former, hair conditioner, humectant, and skin-conditioning agent.
What sources are used to extract Hydrolyzed Collagen?
Hydrolyzed Collagen can be extracted from various sources, with bovine collagen being the most common due to its biocompatibility. Other sources include porcine by-products, fish tissue, ovine tendon and skin, and even chicken and duck skin. The extraction process can involve acid or alkaline treatment.
Is Hydrolyzed Collagen safe for use in cosmetics?
Hydrolyzed Collagen has been reviewed by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel, which has determined that its use in cosmetics is safe. It does not cause skin sensitivity, phototoxicity, or irritation according to clinical studies. Furthermore, the European Union's Cosmetics Regulation permits its use in cosmetic products within Europe.
