Properties of Keratin Hydrolysate
Keratin hydrolysate is a protein with a high affinity for keratin structures, such as hair, skin, and nails. Through the hydrolysis process, peptides of various molecular weights are obtained, which can penetrate the hair structure or form a protective film on its surface, thereby improving its condition and resistance to mechanical damage.
Application of Keratin Hydrolysate
In cosmetics, keratin hydrolysate is primarily used in hair care products, where it contributes to improving elasticity, smoothing, and increasing resistance to external factors. In skin care preparations, it can influence skin condition by forming a protective layer and enhancing the functional parameters of formulations. Due to its high solubility and stability, it is also used in more advanced formulation systems, including care and technological preparations.
Keratin hydrolysate is used in:
- hair cosmetics (shampoos, masks, conditioners),
- nail care preparations,
- regenerating and strengthening cosmetics,
- skin care preparations,
- detergents and fabric care products.
