Science
Mechanism of Action
HYDROLYZED SILK PG-PROPYL METHYLSILANEDIOL CROSSPOLYMER functions by leveraging its unique hybrid structure. The hydrophilic silk peptide portion allows for interaction with water-based systems, while the silicone backbone provides affinity for various surfaces. This dual nature enables it to form a thin, protective film upon application, delivering comprehensive conditioning and moisture retention to the skin.

Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has assessed 'Silk Protein Ingredients' generally, which includes hydrolyzed silk, a component of this crosspolymer. Human skin irritation/sensitization tests at 20% and 6.5% aqueous hydrolyzed silk showed non-irritant and non-sensitizing results. Ocular irritation was classified as minimally irritating to non-irritating. However, a specific safety assessment directly for HYDROLYZED SILK PG-PROPYL METHYLSILANEDIOL CROSSPOLYMER by CIR, SCCS, or FDA is not available. Some sources affirm its safety when used as intended.
