Key findings
- 01 Clinical studies utilizing a proprietary blend at concentrations up to 10%, which contained 10% active Hydrolyzed Sesame Protein PG-Propyl Methylsilanediol (equivalent to approximately 1% active protein in the final formulation), demonstrated superior firming and anti-aging benefits. These studies also reported immediate moisturizing effects and visible skin tightening, smoothing, and toning.

Stability
For optimal formulation stability of a common derivative (Hydrolyzed Sesame Protein PG-Propyl Methylsilanediol), a pH range of 5.0-7.0 is recommended. However, hydrolyzed sesame protein generally exhibits robust solubility (>90%) across a wider pH spectrum of 2-10.
Conflicts
- May potentially trigger allergic reactions in individuals with sensitivities to proteins, including those not sensitive to gluten.
Safety
Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has affirmed Hydrolyzed Sesame Protein as safe for use in cosmetics under current practices. While Type I immediate hypersensitivity reactions are theoretically possible with protein-derived ingredients, these molecules typically possess water solubility and molecular weights that limit skin penetration sufficient for IgE-cross-linking, thus presenting a low practical risk.
