AMINOETHYL DISULFIDE KERATIN

Description

Aminoethyl Disulfide Keratin is an innovative protein derivative engineered for advanced hair repair and strengthening. Derived from natural keratin, this compound is modified to enhance its penetrative capabilities and bond-forming potential within the hair shaft. The aminoethyl disulfide structure allows for targeted interaction with damaged keratin in the hair, effectively rebuilding and reinforcing weakened areas.

This ingredient excels in restoring elasticity and strength to chemically treated, heat-damaged, or naturally brittle hair. It forms new disulfide bonds within the hair structure, mimicking the natural bonds that give hair its resilience. Aminoethyl Disulfide Keratin is particularly effective in smoothing the hair cuticle, reducing frizz, and improving overall manageability.

In haircare formulations, it is typically used at concentrations of 1-3% for optimal results. Its benefits are most pronounced in leave-in treatments, deep conditioning masks, and reconstructive hair therapies. Regular use can lead to noticeably improved hair texture, reduced breakage, and enhanced shine. This ingredient is compatible with a wide range of haircare formulations and can be synergistically combined with other strengthening and moisturizing agents for comprehensive hair health solutions.
