Elastine
INCI Name: Hydrolyzed Elastin
Hydrolyzed elastin is a skincare ingredient derived from elastin, a protein responsible for skin elasticity. Through hydrolysis, this protein is broken down into smaller peptides, making it easier for the skin to absorb. Once applied, hydrolyzed elastin penetrates the upper layers of the skin, where it helps to support and reinforce the skin’s natural elasticity and moisture-retaining properties.
It works by binding water molecules, which helps the skin retain hydration and maintain a plump, smooth appearance. As a result, it is commonly found in anti-aging products and formulations designed to improve skin elasticity, resilience, and hydration.
