Description

Hydrolyzed wheat protein is an amber colored liquid derived from wheat germ. The hydrolysis of wheat involves an acidic, alkaline, or enzymatic process to extract the wheat nutrients which include proteins (amino acids) and peptides. Hydrolyzed wheat proteins are important as they are derived from a natural source, wheat.  They easily penetrates the hair shaft and absorbs into the inner fibers of the hair because of their low molecular weight, unlike other proteins available in hair care products. And, they not only thicken hair, but they repair damaged hair by fortifying with proteins and add shine and manageability to hair. Hydrolyzed wheat protein is well known for its strengthening properties and  its ability to penetrate the cortex and deliver replenishment through its high Cystine to Hair. It is an excellent choice for strengthening and repairing hair weakened by chemical treatments and regular hair maintenance. Hydrolyzed wheat proteins helps to thicken and add volume to thinning hair, add shine and manageability, and repair damaged hair. This makes it an ideal choice for hair waving systems, post-perm conditioners and products for damaged hair. For  Skin care, Wheat Protein has been shown as one of the most effective pore minimizers in modern skin care, providing the porcelain look when utilized in facial cleansers, toners, serums, gels, or lotions. Provides balanced moisture, and gently nourishes. Our hydrolyzed Wheat protein is  preserved with a paraben free and an Ecocert approved preservative system approved for use in organic products.

Country Of Origin :  USA

INCI: Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein

Appearance: Light to Dark Amber  Liquid

Manufacturers suggested Usage : 1 -5 % in formulations, Add to the cool down phase below 40C. Add to water phase in cold process formulas.

Solubility:   water-soluble

Molecular weight: ~ 1500 – 1995Da

Processing Method:Hydrolyzed wheat protein is made by creating an alkaline defatted wheat germ solution and adding a blend of proteases to induce enzymatic hydrolyzation. After enzyme inactivation the solution is purified and filtered.

Common Uses/Benefits It is used in high-quality skin & hair care products & conditioners (especially for dry skin & hair), sun care, after sun & makeup products. It can also be used in lotions, shampoos as well as other topical body applications where the protecting coat of wheat protein is desired.

Storage: Store in cool dry place away from sunlight. Tightly Sealed, Protected from Freezing / Direct Heat / Sunlight.
