About
A surface-modified hydrolyzed collagen with lauroyl groups that improves skin substantivity and moisturisation, commonly used in hair and skin conditioning products.
Lauroyl Hydrolyzed Collagen is a collagen protein derivative with a dodecanoyl (lauroyl) substituent that enhances its affinity for skin and hair surfaces. The parent substance hydrolyzed collagen is permitted in EU cosmetics without restriction. The lauroyl modification is not listed in EU Annex II or III, and the substance is regarded as safe at typical cosmetic concentrations, though isolated skin sensitivity reactions have been reported with protein hydrolysates in general.
