About

Hydrolyzed elastin peptides acylated with lauric (C12) acid. The lipid tail boosts skin-binding. Typical animal-origin and regulatory caveats apply.

Lauroyl hydrolyzed elastin is made by reacting animal-derived (generally bovine) hydrolyzed elastin peptides with lauric acid chloride, creating N-acylated peptides with a C12 lipophilic tail. The modification dramatically increases substantivity to the stratum corneum and hair surface. Cosmetic function is conditioning and film-forming. Bovine-origin ingredients are subject to EU TSE/BSE sourcing controls. Not vegan; no dedicated CIR review. Low irritation potential but limited specific safety data.
