Science
Mechanism of Action
This ingredient operates primarily through its hydrolyzed corn protein component, which acts as a potent humectant. It actively attracts and retains moisture within the epidermal layers, significantly enhancing skin hydration and elasticity. This action helps to mitigate dryness and contributes to the reinforcement of the skin's natural protective barrier against external aggressors.

Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not specifically evaluated SODIUM STEAROYL HYDROLYZED CORN PROTEIN. However, 'Hydrolyzed Corn Protein' (without the stearoyl modification) has been deemed safe for cosmetic use. Plant protein derivatives, in a broader context, are generally approved as food additives by the FDA.
