SODIUM/TEA-UNDECYLENOYL HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN.

Valuable / ANTISTATIC, CLEANSING, HAIR CONDITIONING, SKIN CONDITIONING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING

SODIUM/TEA-UNDECYLENOYL HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN is a specialized hydrolyzed collagen derivative designed to enhance skin hydration and texture. It functions primarily as a humectant and emollient, attracting and retaining moisture while imparting a smooth skin feel. Additionally, it exhibits anti-seborrheic and cleansing properties, making it a versatile component in various cosmetic formulations.

Summary

Anti-seborrheic Antistatic Cleansing Hair Conditioning Skin Conditioning Surfactant - Cleansing Humectant Emollient

Science

Mechanism of Action

Topically, this ingredient operates as a humectant, drawing moisture into the stratum corneum to optimize hydration, and as an emollient, smoothing the skin's surface. The 'TEA-Undecylenoyl' moiety contributes specific anti-seborrheic actions, assisting in the regulation of sebum production, alongside antistatic and mild cleansing attributes. While orally ingested hydrolyzed collagen aims to support internal collagen synthesis, its topical application focuses on external skin conditioning and functional benefits.

Sensitization risk Unknown

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel deemed the base ingredient, Hydrolyzed Collagen, safe for cosmetic use. However, SODIUM/TEA-UNDECYLENOYL HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN contains Triethanolamine (TEA). CIR mandates that in products designed for prolonged skin contact, the concentration of ethanolamines like TEA should not exceed 5%. Furthermore, TEA should not be formulated with N-nitrosating agents to prevent the formation of potentially harmful nitrosamines. Global regulatory bodies including the FDA, WHO, and SCCS (EU) have affirmed the general safety of hydrolyzed collagen. The SCCS specifically regulates TEA under Annex III due to its trialkylamine/trialkanolamine nature.

Our Assessment

Verdict

Valuable

This multi-functional collagen derivative is valuable for its humectant, emollient, and anti-seborrheic properties, provided it is formulated conscientiously within the 5% concentration limit and avoids N-nitrosating agents due to its TEA component.
