HYDROLYZED FISH ARTERY EXRACT

Description

Hydrolyzed Fish Artery Extract is an innovative marine-derived ingredient gaining attention in the skincare industry for its potential anti-aging and skin-rejuvenating properties. This extract is obtained through the hydrolysis of fish artery tissues, primarily from cold-water fish species. The hydrolysis process breaks down complex proteins into smaller, more bioavailable peptides and amino acids.

The extract is rich in elastin peptides, which are crucial for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. It also contains glycosaminoglycans, important components of the extracellular matrix that contribute to skin hydration and structure. Research suggests that Hydrolyzed Fish Artery Extract may stimulate collagen production, enhance skin elasticity, and improve overall skin texture.

In skincare formulations, this ingredient is typically used at concentrations between 1-5%. It is compatible with a wide range of cosmetic bases and can be incorporated into serums, creams, and masks. The extract is particularly beneficial for mature skin types and those concerned with loss of firmness and elasticity. While generally well-tolerated, individuals with fish allergies should exercise caution when using products containing this ingredient.
