Hydrolyzed Pinus Sibirica Seedcake Extract is a processed form of the extract obtained from the seedcake of the Siberian pine (Pinus sibirica), which remains after the oil has been extracted from the seeds. The hydrolysis process breaks down the larger molecules into smaller, more bioavailable components, enhancing the extract’s moisturizing, antioxidant, and nutrient properties. This extract is used in various cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and personal care products.

Chemical Composition and Structure

Hydrolyzed Pinus Sibirica Seedcake Extract contains a complex mixture of amino acids, peptides, proteins, vitamins (notably vitamin E), minerals, and antioxidants. The hydrolysis process reduces the molecular size of these components, increasing their ability to penetrate the skin and deliver benefits more effectively.

Physical Properties

Hydrolyzed Pinus Sibirica Seedcake Extract typically appears as a clear to slightly amber liquid with a mild, nutty aroma. It is water-soluble and easily incorporated into various cosmetic and personal care formulations.

Production Process

Seedcake Collection: The seedcake is collected after the oil extraction process from the seeds of Pinus sibirica.
Drying: The seedcake is dried to reduce moisture content and prepare it for further processing.
Hydrolysis: The dried seedcake is subjected to enzymatic or acid hydrolysis to break down larger molecules into smaller, more bioavailable components.
Filtration: The hydrolyzed extract is filtered to remove any solid particles and impurities, resulting in a clear, high-quality liquid.
Concentration: The filtered extract may be concentrated to enhance its potency and effectiveness.
Quality Control: Rigorous quality tests are conducted to evaluate the purity, stability, and composition of the hydrolyzed extract, including chemical and microbiological analyses.

Applications

Cosmetic Products: Used in creams, lotions, serums, and masks for its moisturizing, anti-aging, and skin-soothing properties.
Skin Care: Ideal for products aimed at hydrating, protecting, and revitalizing the skin due to its high content of amino acids, vitamins, and antioxidants.
Hair Care: Incorporated into shampoos, conditioners, and treatments for its ability to nourish and strengthen the hair.
Pharmaceutical Products: Utilized in various formulations for its potential healing and regenerative properties.
Personal Care Products: Used in body washes, soaps, and other personal care items for its moisturizing and protective effects.

Environmental and Safety Considerations

Hydrolyzed Pinus Sibirica Seedcake Extract is generally considered safe for use in cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and personal care products. It is non-toxic and non-irritating to the skin. Sustainable harvesting and processing practices are essential to ensure the continued availability of this valuable resource and to protect the biodiversity of the regions where Siberian pine trees grow.

INCI


Skin conditioning agent. It is the mainstay of topical skin treatment as it has the function of restoring, increasing or improving skin tolerance to external factors, including melanocyte tolerance. The most important function of the conditioning agent is to prevent skin dehydration, but the subject is rather complex and involves emollients and humectants that can be added in the formulation.
