Hydrolyzed Elastin is a protein-derived cosmetic ingredient obtained by controlled hydrolysis of elastin. Hydrolysis breaks the larger elastin protein into smaller peptides and protein-derived fragments, making the material suitable for incorporation into cosmetic and personal-care formulations.
Elastin is a structural protein associated with elastic connective tissues. Hydrolyzed Elastin is therefore different from intact elastin: it is a complex hydrolysate rather than one single, chemically defined molecule. Its composition, peptide-size distribution and physical characteristics depend on the source of elastin and the hydrolysis and purification processes used.
In cosmetics, Hydrolyzed Elastin is primarily used for skin conditioning, emollient conditioning and hair conditioning. COSMILE Europe identifies these functions for Hydrolyzed Elastin and describes its origin as animal. COSMILE Europe
Hydrolyzed Elastin can be incorporated into skin-care and hair-care products such as creams, lotions, serums, masks, shampoos, conditioners and specialty personal-care formulations.
Elastin is a protein containing a range of amino acids, with its overall composition differing according to the biological source. Controlled hydrolysis converts the larger protein structure into smaller peptides and amino-acid-containing fragments.
Because Hydrolyzed Elastin is a mixture, a single molecular formula and molecular weight should not be assigned to every commercial grade.
The CAS identity should therefore be matched against the actual raw-material specification and COA before publishing a final commercial specification.
Hydrolyzed Elastin is mainly used as a skin-conditioning and hair-conditioning ingredient.
