Hydrolyzed Elastin · Protein Active for Skin

Production: Elastin is isolated from bovine neck tendons by gentle partial hydrolysis; this technique yields elastin fragments of different molecular weights, up to a maximum of 70,000, which corresponds to alpha-elastin (an important element in the structure of natural elastin). Elastin fragments with a molecular weight below 10,000 are removed by ultrafiltration, since efficacy tests show they are not significant. Most elastin products on the market have a molecular weight below 10,000, so their content of protein structures typical of elastin is low and they do not offer the same chemical level or effectiveness.

Clear yellowish liquid, pH 3.8 to 4.2, with an elastin content of 0.4 to 0.5 %.

Storage: At temperatures between 15 and 25 °C/59 and 77 °F, avoiding freezing and exposure to direct sunlight. Shelf life is approximately one year from the date of manufacture.

Precautions: Toxicity: Tests to determine acute oral toxicity, ocular mucosa tolerance and skin tolerance, as well as sensitization tests, showed that the product is perfectly well tolerated and safe.

Technical information for formulators: This sheet describes industrial uses of the raw material in the development of cosmetic products. It is not an efficacy claim for any finished product. The person responsible for the formulation must validate the concentration, compatibility and claims of their product in accordance with applicable regulations.
