Hydrolyzed
What Hydrolyzed is & what it does
"Hydrolyzed" on its own is an incomplete or truncated INCI name; in cosmetics the term describes an ingredient that has been broken into smaller fragments using water, acid, or enzymes, as in hydrolyzed proteins, gums, or starches. Such hydrolyzed materials are generally used as skin- and hair-conditioning, film-forming, or moisturizing agents with improved solubility. Because the full name is missing, its exact role cannot be specified. No concerns are flagged on this line.
