Science

Mechanism of Action

POTASSIUM OLIVOYL (ALANINE/ARGININE/ASPARAGINE/ASPARTIC ACID/GLUTAMIC ACID/ GLYCINE/ISOLEUCINE/LEUCINE/LYSINE/METHIONINE/PHENYLALANINE/PROLINE/SERINE/THREONINE/TRYPTOPHAN/TYROSINE/VALINE) functions as a vegetal softening agent, integrating fatty acids from olive oil with a complete spectrum of amino acids to support skin health. Its mechanism involves respecting the integrity of the stratum corneum, thereby reducing trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) and contributing to the restoration of the skin’s natural barrier function. As a delicate surfactant, it can mitigate the irritating potential of other cleansing agents, thus improving product compatibility and preserving the moisture and integrity of the epidermis's outermost layer. The incorporated amino acids are crucial for maintaining skin hydration, supporting collagen synthesis, and regulating pH balance.

Stability

For optimal stability and clarity, formulations utilizing this ingredient at concentrations above 5% (as a primary or co-primary surfactant) should maintain a pH of 5.5 or higher. When incorporated as a secondary surfactant at concentrations below 5%, it can tolerate lower pH values, down to 4.5. Amino acid stability is pH-dependent, and maintaining the optimal range is critical to prevent degradation or precipitation.

Synergies

  • Amphoteric surfactants (for pre-solubilization)
  • Primary surfactants (to reduce irritating capacity)

Conflicts

  • Cationic surfactants (direct addition may lead to chemical neutralization; pre-solubilization with amphoteric surfactants is recommended)
