HYDROLYZED HAZELNUT PROTEIN

Description

Hydrolyzed Hazelnut Protein is an innovative ingredient in haircare formulations, derived from the protein-rich nuts of the Corylus avellana tree. This plant-based protein is broken down into smaller peptides through hydrolysis, enhancing its ability to penetrate the hair shaft and deliver benefits.

The ingredient is particularly effective for strengthening and protecting hair fibers. Its low molecular weight allows it to penetrate the cuticle, providing internal support to the hair structure. Hydrolyzed Hazelnut Protein forms a protective film on the hair surface, reducing moisture loss and improving overall hair manageability.

Rich in essential amino acids, this protein helps repair damaged hair, reducing breakage and split ends. It also enhances hair's moisture retention capabilities, leading to improved hydration and elasticity. The ingredient is known for its ability to add volume and body to fine or limp hair.

Hydrolyzed Hazelnut Protein is compatible with various hair types and is especially beneficial for chemically treated, heat-damaged, or naturally dry hair. Its natural origin makes it a popular choice in clean beauty formulations, appealing to consumers seeking plant-based haircare solutions.
