Description

Undecylenoyl Hydrolyzed Collagen is a chemically modified derivative of collagen, where hydrolyzed collagen peptides are acylated with undecylenic acid. This modification imparts unique amphiphilic properties, enhancing its functionality as a substantive conditioning and film-forming agent. It is a key ingredient for formulators seeking to improve the sensory profile and performance of personal care products. This specialty ingredient finds primary application in the cosmetics, hair care, and skincare industries.

Application

• Hair Care Products: Acts as a substantive conditioning agent in shampoos, conditioners, and hair masks to improve manageability, reduce static, and enhance shine.
• Skin Care Formulations: Used in creams, lotions, and serums for its film-forming and moisturizing properties, helping to improve skin feel and barrier function.
• Color Cosmetics: Incorporated into foundations and mascaras to enhance texture, adhesion, and wear comfort.
• Personal Cleansers: Added to body washes and facial cleansers to provide a mild, conditioning afterfeel and mitigate dryness.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Serves as a functional excipient in ointments and creams, aiding in film formation and active ingredient delivery.
• Advanced Material Science: Investigated for use in biodegradable films and coatings due to its modified polymeric nature.
