Science

Potassium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Rice Bran Protein exerts its effects by providing readily absorbable peptides and amino acids to the skin. These components are instrumental in supporting the endogenous production of collagen and elastin, thereby contributing to the maintenance of skin's structural integrity, firmness, and elasticity. It also significantly enhances the skin's inherent barrier function, aiding in the repair processes of compromised skin. Functioning as a potent moisturizing and conditioning agent, it actively increases the epidermal water content and aids in its retention, resulting in a more hydrated and supple complexion. Furthermore, it forms a subtle, protective film on the skin's surface to impede moisture loss and offer a shield against environmental aggressors. The ingredient also demonstrates antioxidant capabilities, assisting in neutralizing free radicals and mitigating oxidative stress. As a mild surfactant, it facilitates gentle cleansing without excessively depleting the skin's natural lipids, and its amino acid profile supports cellular regeneration and renewal.

Safety

CIR Status
Safe as used
Sensitization risk Low

The CIR Expert Panel has deemed rice-derived ingredients, including hydrolyzed rice bran protein, safe for use in cosmetics at current practices and concentrations. The FDA also recognizes plant protein products as approved food additives. Although no specific maximum cosmetic use concentrations for Potassium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Rice Bran Protein were reported, a related ingredient, Potassium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Collagen, was noted to be used at concentrations up to 20% in non-coloring shampoos as of 2001, providing a general reference for similar acyl-protein hydrolysates.
