DODECYL PG-AMINOETHYL DISULFIDE KERATIN.

Insufficient Data / EMULSION STABILISING, HAIR CONDITIONING, NAIL CONDITIONING

DODECYL PG-AMINOETHYL DISULFIDE KERATIN is a modified, water-soluble keratin derivative primarily designed for hair care. It functions to strengthen and rebuild the hair's inherent keratin structure, leading to enhanced combability, softness, gloss, and volume. This specific modification also safeguards cysteine residues from oxidation.

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient, a derivative of keratin, is engineered to interact with the hair's natural keratin structure. Keratins are fibrous proteins, stabilized by disulfide bonds. The modification of keratin into DODECYL PG-AMINOETHYL DISULFIDE KERATIN involves converting its disulfide bonds into aminoethyl disulfide groups, rendering it water-soluble. This allows the compound to contribute to the strengthening and repair of hair fibers by participating in the dissociation and re-bonding of disulfide structures. The aminoethyl disulfide protection also prevents oxidative damage to cysteine residues within the keratin. The available research exclusively details its mechanism on hair, with no specific information on its action or benefits for the skin.

Stability

Normally insoluble, keratin is rendered water-soluble in this derivative through the conversion of disulfide bonds into aminoethyl disulfide groups. These modified cysteine residues are resistant to oxidation. General observations indicate that lower pH solutions may enhance the thermal stability of alpha-keratins, whereas high pH conditions can destabilize disulfide bonds, potentially weakening the hair structure.

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not specifically reviewed DODECYL PG-AMINOETHYL DISULFIDE KERATIN. While several other keratin-derived ingredients (e.g., Hydrolyzed Keratin) have been deemed safe in current cosmetic practices, this specific derivative lacks individual assessment by CIR or the SCCS. No specific FDA pre-market approval status was identified for this ingredient, which is typical for cosmetic components unless they are color additives.
