Science

Mechanism of Action

COCODIMONIUM HYDROXYPROPYL HYDROLYZED RICE PROTEIN works by providing effective moisturization and forming a protective film on the skin's surface, which contributes to increased moisture retention. It actively strengthens the skin's defense function, supports normal keratinocyte keratinization, and exhibits properties that inhibit bacterial reproduction. Furthermore, it stimulates fiber bud cells to produce collagen, resulting in a more hydrated, elastic, and smoother complexion with an anti-irritant effect.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Not reviewed (derivative)
Sensitization risk Low

While its parent ingredient, Hydrolyzed Rice Protein, was deemed safe by the CIR Expert Panel in 2006, COCODIMONIUM HYDROXYPROPYL HYDROLYZED RICE PROTEIN, a modified derivative, lacks a specific, independent CIR safety assessment. However, GHS classifications found no identified hazards regarding oral, dermal, or inhalation toxicity. Safety Data Sheets (SDS) generally indicate it is not expected to be a skin irritant and poses no known hazards by ingestion. The ingredient is classified as a quaternary ammonium chloride. It's important to note that EWG VERIFIED products require robust substantiation for its use due to potential contamination concerns, and no SCCS opinion is available.
