Functions
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Humectant
A moisture magnet. Pulls water from the air and deeper skin layers up to the surface to keep skin plump and hydrated.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.

Traditional Use
Enzymatic hydrolysis is a modern biochemical process developed in the 20th century to break down large proteins and plant materials into smaller, more skin-penetrating molecules. This technique enables the cosmetics industry to increase the bioavailability of botanical and protein-based ingredients.
