Science

Mechanism of Action

COCODIMONIUM HYDROXYPROPYL HYDROLYZED CASEIN forms a protective layer on the skin, delivering hydration and conditioning. Its casein-derived peptides actively reduce facial pigmentation by diminishing advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Additionally, it possesses anti-inflammatory properties and can exert antibacterial effects by disrupting bacterial membranes, inhibiting cell wall synthesis, and interfering with bacterial metabolism. The quaternized structure also provides antistatic benefits.
