Introduction

Hydrolyzed proteins are the result of a specific process that breaks down large molecular proteins into smaller peptides or amino acids. These smaller molecules are more easily absorbed by the skin and can more effectively exert their moisturizing, firming, anti-wrinkle, and anti-aging effects.

Preparation

The preparation methods for hydrolyzed proteins mainly include enzymatic, acidic, and alkaline methods. Among them, the enzymatic method is widely used for its mildness and high selectivity in preparing hydrolyzed proteins with specific functions. For example, using pancreatic enzymes and neutral proteases for combined enzymatic hydrolysis can optimize the preparation process and improve the quality and functionality of hydrolyzed whey protein.

Application

Hydrolyzed proteins have a wide range of applications in cosmetics, including but not limited to:

As a Moisturizer: Due to the presence of a large number of hydrophilic groups in their molecules, hydrolyzed proteins typically have excellent water absorption and retention properties, making them suitable as moisturizers. For instance, the water absorption of hydrolyzed collagen increases as the molecular weight decreases, making it more suitable for moisturizing cosmetics.

As a Skin Conditioner: Hydrolyzed proteins can supplement skin nutrition, enhance the softness and elasticity of the skin, and improve the living environment of skin cells. For example, hydrolyzed elastin and hydrolyzed plant proteins both have skin conditioning effects, increasing the softness and smoothness of the skin.

As a Repair Ingredient: Some hydrolyzed proteins, such as hydrolyzed whey protein, can promote the regeneration and repair of skin cells, helping to accelerate wound healing and improve skin condition.

In addition, hydrolyzed proteins can be used in combination with other ingredients, such as elastin and collagen, to enhance their effects. For example, the combination of hydrolyzed elastin with soluble collagen can stimulate skin microcirculation, speed up the synthesis of collagen by fibroblasts, and reduce wrinkles.

It is important to note that due to the susceptibility of proteins to spoilage, special attention must be paid to the stability and preservation measures of the formulation when using hydrolyzed proteins.

Creativebiomart offers a variety of hydrolyzed proteins. By choosing and using hydrolyzed proteins appropriately, the effectiveness of skincare products can be significantly enhanced, meeting the needs of different skin types and requirements.
