HYDROLYZED BARLEY PROTEIN.

Valuable / HAIR CONDITIONING, SKIN CONDITIONING

Hydrolyzed Barley Protein is a low molecular weight protein fragment derived from barley, engineered for deeper skin penetration. It is recognized for its ability to restore damaged skin, promote cellular regeneration, and deliver prolonged hydration.

Science

Mechanism of Action

Leveraging its reduced molecular size, Hydrolyzed Barley Protein effectively permeates the skin's surface to assist in the repair of compromised tissues and stimulate regenerative processes. It contributes amino acids essential for maintaining the skin's optimal pH balance and regulating sebum production. Furthermore, it functions as a natural antioxidant, combating free radical damage and bolstering the skin's resilience against aging factors and environmental aggressors. This ingredient actively fortifies the skin's natural protective barrier, thereby minimizing trans-epidermal moisture loss and serving as an effective skin conditioning agent.

Stability

Optimal stability for hydrolyzed proteins generally occurs within a pH range of 4.5 to 5.5.

Conflicts

  • Strong acids (e.g., glycolic, lactic acid) can lead to protein denaturation.
  • Strong bases (e.g., sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide) can cause protein denaturation.
  • Alcohol may denature proteins.
  • Requires a stable emulsification system to be effectively incorporated into oil-containing formulations.
