Science
Mechanism of Action
Operating primarily as a film-forming agent, COCOYL HYDROLYZED ELASTIN creates a subtle, continuous layer on the skin's surface. This protective film is instrumental in maintaining optimal skin condition by significantly enhancing skin elasticity and moisture levels. Through these actions, it contributes to a visibly smoother and more youthful complexion, specifically aiding in the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. It also provides revitalizing, nourishing, and moisturizing benefits, proving particularly effective in firming, lifting, and tightening applications.

Safety
Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has deemed 'Hydrolyzed Elastin' safe for use. As COCOYL HYDROLYZED ELASTIN is a derivative, its safety profile is generally inferred from its parent compound. A Human Repeated-Insult Patch Test (HRIPT) conducted on Hydrolyzed Elastin at a 25% concentration (w/v in corn oil) produced no dermal irritation or sensitization. However, individuals with known sensitivities or allergies are advised to perform a patch test. No specific FDA or SCCS assessments for this derivative were identified.
