Hydrolyzed Keratin is put through a hydrolysate process which makes the keratin stronger. Hydrolyzed Keratin also does not penetrate the hair shaft. It acts as a film-forming ingredient, creating a protective coating on the hair. This also helps to increase the shininess of the hair.Sheep-wool-derived, hydrolyzed keratin protein is carefully monitored during its manufacture to ensure the lowest possible odor and low ash. Keratin is a highly specialized fibrous protein found in hair, feathers, wool, and nails. Keratin is distinct from other proteins in that it is rich in cysteine (a sulfur-containing amino acid) giving keratin a unique strength and protective quality. pH value: 5.0-5.8.Contains: 20-23% of proteinMolecular weight: 1,100-3,300 Dal Derived: From Sheep's Wool It is preserved with butylene glycol, phenoxyethanol, and ethylhexlglycerin.Hydrolyzed Keratin provides moisturizing benefits for both hair and skin.It is used in shampoo, conditioner, treatment (hair), leave-in, styling, body wash, body lotion, treatment (body), cleanser, toner, facial moisturizer, treatment (face), makeup foundation, mascara, lipstick, color cosmetics.
