Capryloyl Hydrolyzed Collagen.

Valuable CAS 161133-67-1 / ANTISTATIC, HAIR CONDITIONING

A high-performance lipoamino acid that bridges the gap between protein-based hydration and lipid-barrier support. This acylated collagen derivative acts as a multifunctional conditioning agent, providing a breathable protective film that smooths skin texture while maintaining microbiological balance.

Skin conditioning Antistatic Film former Surfactant Antimicrobial booster

Science

Mechanism of Action

This amphiphilic molecule combines a lipophilic capryloyl chain with hydrophilic hydrolyzed collagen. The lipid component facilitates superior skin affinity and offers mild antimicrobial defense, while the collagen portion creates a non-occlusive film on the stratum corneum. This dual action effectively anchors moisture to the skin surface, significantly reducing trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) and neutralizing surface static charge.

Key findings

  1. 01 Demonstrated efficacy as a skin-smoothing and conditioning agent at concentrations between 0.1% and 5.0%, improving surface texture and film-forming resilience.
  2. 02 Research indicates that at levels of 0.5-1.0%, it exhibits synergistic antimicrobial activity, particularly against S. aureus and S. epidermidis, enhancing the efficacy of cleansing and preservative systems.

Because this ingredient provides measurable conditioning and antistatic benefits at levels as low as 0.1%, it is rarely 'dusted'; however, for antimicrobial synergy or significant moisture retention, concentrations should ideally reach or exceed 0.5%.

Stability

Most stable within the physiological pH range (5.0-7.0). It is sensitive to extreme pH levels; values below 4.0 or above 9.0 may trigger peptide bond hydrolysis or precipitation at its isoelectric point.

Synergies

  • Antimicrobial agents
  • Other Lipoamino acids
  • Humectants

Conflicts

  • High electrolyte concentrations (salting out risk)
  • Strongly acidic environments (< pH 4.0)
  • Strong oxidizing agents
