Firm-Feel Film for Serums, Creams and Eye Care
Elastin is the protein behind the bounce of youthful skin. Applied topically in hydrolyzed form, it does not replace the skin's own elastin, but it forms a smooth, moisture-holding film that gives an immediate firm, supple feel. Hydrolyzed Elastin Liquid BLP brings this proven texture to your formulas.
Why Formulators Choose Hydrolyzed Elastin Liquid
Elastin has decades of use in anti-aging style skin care. It pairs naturally with collagen and hyaluronic acid, and it gives products a perceptible "tightening" sensation that customers associate with performance.
