SODIUM SUCCINOYL HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN.

Valuable / HUMECTANT, SKIN CONDITIONING

SODIUM SUCCINOYL HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN is a potent hydrolyzed collagen derivative primarily functioning as a humectant and skin conditioning agent. It works by attracting and retaining moisture within the stratum corneum, enhancing skin hydration, softness, and suppleness. This ingredient also forms a protective film on the skin's surface, aiding in the reduction of trans-epidermal water loss and improving skin texture.

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient operates by drawing and binding water molecules to the skin's surface and within the stratum corneum, thereby significantly increasing dermal moisture content. Its ability to form a non-occlusive protective film on the skin barrier further mitigates moisture evaporation (trans-epidermal water loss), leading to enhanced hydration, a smoother texture, and improved skin elasticity.

Stability

Optimal stability for hydrolyzed collagen generally occurs within a pH range of 5.0 to 6.5. The hydrolysis process typically shifts the isoelectric point (pI) of collagen to lower values, often falling between 3.68 and 5.7.

Safe as used
Sensitization risk Low

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has concluded that Hydrolyzed Collagen, and related cocoyl hydrolyzed collagen ingredients, are safe for use in cosmetic formulations. The FDA classifies gelatin, from which collagen peptides are derived, as a safe substance. While specific maximum concentrations for SODIUM SUCCINOYL HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN are not readily available, typical usage rates for generic hydrolyzed collagen in skincare and haircare products range from 0.2% to 2.0%.
