Hydrolyzed Keratin Powder

Keratin is a protein that cannot be directly absorbed and used. It is mainly found in the feathers, hair, horns and hooves of animals.
Keratin is the main component of human hair, accounting for about 65% to 95%. It is also the most important protective film on the surface of hair.
It must be specially treated by biological methods and turned into short peptides before it can be used. Hydrolyzed Keratin Powder is a recognized potential high-quality protein source with high nutritional value and stable quality. Keratin has strong anti-tensile properties and plays a protective role in animals.

The hydrolyzed keratin peptide powder we supply is extracted from high-quality wool, crushed and hydrolyzed. It is natural and has low irritation. Its molecular structure is highly similar to human keratin, and its molecular weight is smaller than that of ordinary keratin. The unique patented process of hydrolysis shows that it has a higher absorption rate than ordinary fat-soluble ingredients, and the ingredients are safe and not prone to allergies.

Hydrolyzed Keratin Powder

It has excellent nutrition, conditioning and repair functions for hair.
1. Moisturizing

The protein of damaged hair is exposed, the hydrophilicity is increased, and it is easier to adsorb. The terminal amino and carboxyl groups of keratin can be combined with the carboxyl and amino groups of hair keratin respectively, and can form disulfide bonds and quaternary amine bonds with hair, increasing the adhesion of keratin to hair.
2. Hydrolyzed keratin powder has a certain repair function for damaged hair, enhancing the elasticity, softness and moisturizing of hair, making hair bright and easy to comb.

Hair protein is sensitive to heat, acid, alkali, etc. These substances can damage hair, dry and split, and reduce elasticity.
As the degree of damage increases, the elasticity of hair decreases. After hydrolyzed keratin treatment, part of the cysteine residues are oxidized, and disulfide bonds are re-formed to form a transparent film with a certain elasticity on the surface of the hair, thereby improving the elasticity of the hair.

Hydrolyzed keratin peptide powder + biotin: This formula can supplement the nutrients needed for hair growth. It is not only supported by clinical trial data, but also passed hundreds of quality tests.

Hydrolyzed Keratin Powder

Hydrolyzed keratin is a multifunctional conditioning additive widely used in personal care products.

It is widely used in hair care products, and major brands have developed products containing hydrolyzed keratin.
