Science
Mechanism of Action
The capryloyl modification enhances the lipophilic nature of hydrolyzed collagen, improving skin and hair adherence. Its aluminum salt component provides astringent and antiperspirant effects by temporarily forming plugs in sweat ducts, also neutralizing surface electrical charges.

Formulation
Stability
Optimal stability is observed within a slightly acidic to near-neutral pH range (4.5–7.0). Extreme pH values below 4.5 or above 8.5 can significantly increase aluminum component solubility, potentially destabilizing the complex.
Conflicts
- Strong chelating agents (e.g., EDTA)
- High concentrations of electrolytes
- Anionic surfactants
Safety
Safety Profile
While this specific collagen-linked form lacks a dedicated CIR safety monograph, it is listed in the EU CosIng database. General SCCS opinions on aluminum-containing ingredients, which monitor for systemic absorption, apply.

Verdict
Offers conditioning and antiperspirant benefits for multiple skin types with low irritancy, but its aluminum component and lack of dedicated safety review warrant careful consideration.
