HYDROLYZED KURODA'S SEA HARE EXTRACT.

Insufficient Data / SKIN CONDITIONING, SKIN CONDITIONING - EMOLLIENT

Hydrolyzed Kuroda's Sea Hare Extract is a marine-derived ingredient, specifically a hydrolysate, primarily functioning to condition the skin. Its breakdown into smaller components like peptides and amino acids aims to maintain skin health and provide emollient benefits for enhanced smoothness.

Science

This extract acts as a skin conditioning agent, actively contributing to the maintenance of healthy skin. It also delivers emollient properties, effectively softening and smoothing the skin's surface. The hydrolyzed nature ensures the presence of smaller, bioavailable constituents such as peptides or amino acids. Preliminary research indicates potential anti-inflammatory effects through the reduction of PD-L1 levels in cancer cells and a mitigating influence on rheumatoid arthritis in a mouse model. Furthermore, extracts of *Aplysia kurodai* have demonstrated antibacterial activity, suggesting potential antimicrobial benefits.

Stability

Direct information on the optimal pH range for the stability of Hydrolyzed Kuroda's Sea Hare Extract in cosmetic formulations is not available. However, studies on enzymes from *Aplysia kurodai*'s digestive fluid show optimal pH for cellulases at 5.0–5.5 and for β-glucosidases at 5.5–6.0, with the digestive fluid itself maintaining a pH of 5.5. These values may serve as an initial guide for formulation stability considerations.

Our Assessment

Insufficient Data

While Hydrolyzed Kuroda's Sea Hare Extract exhibits promising in vitro and animal model data for its conditioning, emollient, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties, the absence of human clinical efficacy studies and comprehensive safety reviews warrants further robust investigation for a conclusive assessment.
