SODIUM/TEA-LAUROYL HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN.

Valuable CAS 68920-59-2 / ANTISTATIC, CLEANSING, HAIR CONDITIONING, SKIN CONDITIONING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING

SODIUM/TEA-LAUROYL HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN is a hydrolyzed collagen derivative designed to enhance skin's structural integrity and hydration. It delivers vital amino acids and peptides that support the natural production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, while also functioning as an effective conditioning and cleansing agent.

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient, a derivative of hydrolyzed collagen, works by supplying free amino acids to the skin, which serve as foundational building blocks for endogenous collagen and elastin synthesis. Its oligopeptides are capable of signaling fibroblasts to elevate production of new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Topically, it demonstrably improves stratum corneum hydration, contributing to enhanced skin elasticity and a reduction in the visible appearance of fine lines. Beyond its structural benefits, it functions as an antistatic agent, a cleansing agent, and a conditioning agent for both skin and hair, thereby maintaining overall skin health.

Stability

Hydrolyzed collagen's isoelectric point shifts from 7-8 for native collagen to 3.68-5.7 upon hydrolysis. Due to the presence of Triethanolamine (TEA), this ingredient should not be formulated in products where N-nitroso compounds can be formed. An optimal pH range for finished cosmetic formulations was not explicitly identified.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Safe with restrictions
Max tested
20%
Sensitization risk Unknown

The CIR Expert Panel deems this ingredient safe under specific use restrictions. The primary concern arises from the Triethanolamine (TEA) component, which can act as a precursor for N-nitroso compounds. Consequently, it must not be used in formulations where N-nitroso compounds could potentially form. The safety assessment was reopened in June 2024 to re-evaluate potential sensitization and photosensitization risks. In the EU, TEA-Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Collagen is listed in Annex III, subjecting it to restrictions for trialkylamines, trialkanolamines, and their salts. As an animal-derived ingredient, it must be free of detectable pathogenic viruses, infectious agents, or biologically-derived impurities, with heavy metals and pesticides minimized according to regulatory limits.
