HYDROLYZED TRITICUM MONOCOCCUM SEED EXTRACT.

Valuable CAS - / SKIN CONDITIONING

A hydrolyzed extract derived from the ancient Einkorn wheat (Triticum monococcum), this ingredient is recognized for its robust skin conditioning capabilities. It leverages its rich nutritional profile to actively support skin regeneration and mitigate visible signs of aging.

Summary

Skin-Conditioning Agent Anti-aging Hydrating Anti-inflammatory Collagen Booster Hyaluronic Acid Booster

Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract functions by stimulating the endogenous production of vital extracellular matrix components within the skin. Specifically, it enhances the expression of type I and III collagens, fibronectin, and hyaluronic acid, all crucial for maintaining skin structure, elasticity, and hydration. The parent Einkorn wheat is naturally abundant in proteins, beneficial unsaturated fatty acids, fructans, trace elements, and a spectrum of antioxidants, including carotenoids, polyphenols, and phytosterols, contributing to its anti-aging, hydrating, and anti-inflammatory properties.

Key findings

  1. 01 Studies indicate that Hydrolyzed Triticum Monococcum Seed Extract, when applied at concentrations between 0.05% and 5%, significantly activates the synthesis of type I and III collagens, fibronectin, and hyaluronic acid in the skin. This activation directly contributes to notable anti-aging effects, improving skin elasticity, suppleness, and aiding in wrinkle reduction.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Safe with restrictions
Sensitization risk Moderate

The CIR Expert Panel found Triticum Monococcum (Wheat) Seed Extract to be safe. However, due to its hydrolyzed nature, this ingredient falls under the cautionary guidelines for hydrolyzed wheat proteins. It is considered safe when formulated to ensure peptides have an average molecular weight of 3500 Daltons or less to mitigate the risk of type 1 immediate hypersensitivity reactions. Individuals with known wheat or gluten allergies should exercise caution. The inherent large molecular weight of wheat-derived ingredients generally restricts deep skin penetration, thereby reducing concerns regarding systemic toxicity.
