About
Watery extract from salmon roe used as a skin-conditioning marine ingredient. Generally well tolerated, but a fish-allergen risk exists for sensitised people.
Salmon Egg Water (sometimes labelled salmon roe extract or aqua-phase salmon caviar extract) is the aqueous fraction obtained from salmon (Salmo salar and related species) roe, supplied as a cosmetic skin-conditioning ingredient. It contains water-soluble amino acids, peptides, nucleotides, and trace minerals. There is no CIR or SCCS opinion specific to it, and composition is highly variable between suppliers and batches. The principal real-world concern is that it is an animal/fish-derived material — people with diagnosed fish allergy can react to residual fish proteins, and parvalbumin or vitellogenin-derived peptides have been documented as allergens in seafood. Preservation is critical because the matrix is nutritive. At low cosmetic levels in well-formulated products it is generally well tolerated.
