Product Highlights

The object of having such a broad distribution is to provide the damaged hair substrates with a wide range of chain lengths. This optimizes penetration into the cortex thus Conditioning and Repairing the hair from the inside out while its continuous protective Film-Forming properties fills damaged gaps, and lays the cuticle down by linking platelets of protein molecules. These Penetrating, Bonding & Shielding properties leave a lustrous and mirror-like shine with excellent Conditioning effects.

In Hair Spray applications Vege Tech Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein at usage levels >10% is an excellent NATURAL SUBSTITUTE for synthetic fixative hair resins.

In topical skin care formulations, Vege Tech Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein provides a colloid effect through its Polymeric Coating Action, yielding highly effective Moisturizing properties. It is compatible with anionic, amphoteric and cationic surfactants, does not affect the rheological properties of any emulsion. It is compatible with a wide pH range and is readily soluble in water, water/alcohol, glycerin and glycols.

When Vege Tech Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein is formulated with SodiumPCA, the native essential amino acid content closely simulates the skin’s own Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF). This NMF action provides excellent Hydration & Antioxidant effects to skin.
