HYDROLYZED COCKSCOMB EXTRACT.

Valuable CAS - / HUMECTANT

Hydrolyzed Cockscomb Extract is a biomarine-derived ingredient rich in hyaluronic acid and hydrolyzed collagen proteins. It functions as a potent humectant, drawing and retaining moisture to significantly hydrate the skin, while its peptide components work to support skin structure and elasticity.

Summary

Humectant Moisturizing Skin Conditioning Anti-aging Skin-restoring Wound Healing Support

Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract operates primarily through its dual action components: hyaluronic acid (HA) and hydrolyzed collagen peptides. HA, a powerful humectant, attracts and binds water molecules, visibly increasing skin hydration and contributing to moisture retention. Furthermore, HA is implicated in promoting cutaneous wound healing and offers protective benefits against DNA damage. The hydrolyzed collagen peptides provide foundational support for the skin's structural integrity, potentially enhancing elasticity, diminishing the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and boosting natural collagen content. The presence of specific amino acids such as threonine, alanine, valine, and methionine suggests potential contributions to cellular regeneration and overall skin vitality.

Stability

Optimal pH for enzymatic hydrolysis during extraction ranges from 5.0 to 8.0 (e.g., papain at pH 5-7, trypsin at pH 7-8). High molecular weight hyaluronic acid components within the extract may degrade if exposed to highly acidic environments, specifically around pH 3-4, during purification or formulation.

Conflicts

  • Highly acidic environments (pH 3-4) may lead to the degradation of high molecular weight hyaluronic acid components within the extract.
