As a co-surfactant, Potassium cocoyl hydrolyzed collagen clearly improves the skin and eye mucosa compatibility of basic surfactants and/or surfactant systems.
To counter this process, anti-ageing products use special active ingredient combinations which have caring, moisturising and skin renewing properties.
Potassium cocoyl hydrolyzed collagen has proven to be a good hydroscopic agent and moisturiser in these active ingredient complexes.
Because of its water-binding properties, the active ingredient is increasingly also used in products such as lipsticks.
To promote and accelerate the natural regeneration process of the skin, collagen fragments are, moreover, used in the form of so-called polycollagen peptides in care products.
These imitate the naturally occurring collagen fragments and hence support the repair process of the skin.
The result of this care is a rapid mitigation of lines and wrinkles; the complexion and elasticity of the skin are significantly improved.

Potassium cocoyl hydrolyzed collagen is used in cosmetic formulations.
Potassium cocoyl hydrolyzed collagen acts as an antistatic agent (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface, for example of hair) and as a combability aid (reduces or prevents tangling of the hair due to changes or damage on the hair surface, thus improving combability) and as a surfactant (washing-active substance; improves the even distribution of the products during application).
Potassium cocoyl hydrolyzed collagen is a gentle, skin-friendly surfactant commonly used in personal care and cosmetic products.
It’s a compound derived from two primary ingredients:
The “cocoyl” part is derived from coconut oil, which is rich in fatty acids.
This part contributes to the product's cleansing and foaming properties while being less harsh than conventional surfactants.
Potassium cocoyl hydrolyzed collagen is a protein found in skin, hair, and nails. In this ingredient, collagen is hydrolyzed, meaning it’s broken down into smaller peptides for easier absorption and better compatibility with skin.

Safety Profile Of Potassium cocoyl hydrolyzed collagen:
Although Potassium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Collagen is usually mild, some individuals may still experience irritation, redness, or itching, particularly if they have sensitive skin or an allergy to collagen or coconut derivatives.
If the product containing Potassium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Collagen comes into direct contact with the eyes, it may cause mild eye irritation, including redness, stinging, or tearing. Care should be taken to avoid eye exposure.
If Potassium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Collagen is handled in its raw, powdered form (e.g., in manufacturing), it could be a respiratory irritant if inhaled.
For consumers, this risk is minimal since it is usually found in liquid or cream form.
Surfactants like Potassium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Collagen, while milder, can still have an impact on aquatic life if they enter waterways in large quantities.
Many surfactants can be toxic to fish and aquatic organisms, so waste disposal practices should consider environmental safety.
