ETHYL ESTER OF HYDROLYZED ANIMAL PROTEIN.

Insufficient Data CAS 68951-89-3 / ANTISTATIC, HAIR CONDITIONING, SKIN CONDITIONING, SKIN CONDITIONING - EMOLLIENT

A refined derivative of hydrolyzed animal proteins, notably silk, this ingredient is designed to enhance skin hydration and improve texture. It has demonstrated anti-aging potential by actively stimulating collagen Type I synthesis and reinforcing skin's structural integrity.

Science

Mechanism of Action

The ingredient's efficacy stems from its distinctive amino acid composition, rich in glycine, alanine, and serine, which are vital building blocks for skin health. It provides moisturizing and texture-improving effects by supporting the skin’s natural hydration processes. Crucially, it stimulates collagen Type I synthesis through the activation of specific cellular pathways, promoting protein synthesis and tissue regeneration, thereby contributing to skin firmness and elasticity.

Stability

The esterification process enhances its solubility, particularly in alcohol, which improves its compatibility and integration into cosmetic formulations. As an ester, it is generally susceptible to hydrolysis, especially when exposed to extreme pH environments.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Insufficient data
Sensitization risk Unknown

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not conducted a specific safety assessment for Ethyl Ester of Hydrolyzed Animal Protein. While broader categories of 'Hydrolyzed Source Proteins' have been generally considered safe, with a focus on potential irritation and sensitization, specific data for this ingredient is lacking. The Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has noted a higher risk of sensitization for higher molecular weight hydrolyzed wheat proteins (exceeding 3.5 kDa), particularly in surfactant-containing products, suggesting a general consideration for protein derivatives, though this specific ingredient has not been reviewed.

Verdict

Insufficient Data

While demonstrating promising benefits for skin elasticity and wrinkle reduction through collagen stimulation, comprehensive safety data specifically for Ethyl Ester of Hydrolyzed Animal Protein remains insufficient for a definitive assessment.
