Description

Hexyldecyl Ester Of Hydrolyzed Collagen is a lipid-soluble derivative of hydrolyzed collagen, where the protein fragments are esterified with hexyldecyl alcohol. This modification significantly enhances its compatibility with oil-based formulations, improving skin feel and substantivity. It is primarily sought after by formulators in the personal care and cosmetic industries for its ability to deliver conditioning and film-forming benefits in anhydrous and lipid-rich systems.

Application

• Premium Skin Care Products: Acts as a conditioning agent and emollient in anti-aging serums, creams, and lotions to improve skin texture and elasticity.
• Hair Care Formulations: Used in conditioners, hair masks, and styling products to provide shine, manageability, and repair to damaged hair.
• Color Cosmetics: Incorporated into foundations, lipsticks, and mascaras to enhance pigment dispersion, product spreadability, and long-wear film formation.
• Sun Care Products: Serves as a functional ingredient in sunscreens and after-sun lotions for its moisturizing and skin-protective properties.
• Anhydrous Systems: Ideal for oil-based blends, silicone phases, and balms where traditional water-soluble collagen is incompatible.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Used in medicated creams and ointments as a base ingredient that aids in skin barrier repair and active delivery.

Quality Control

Our Hexyldecyl Ester Of Hydrolyzed Collagen is produced and tested to meet stringent quality standards suitable for cosmetic and personal care applications. We ensure consistency in esterification degree, solubility, and functional performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each batch, detailing key parameters such as identification, assay, and purity. Our quality management system supports compliance with relevant guidelines, including ISO 22716 (Cosmetics GMP).

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consider keeping under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to preserve stability and prevent rancidity. Keep away from strong heat and ignition sources.
