HYDROLYZED KERATIN PG-PROPYL SILANETRIOL

Description

Hydrolyzed Keratin PG-Propyl Silanetriol is an innovative haircare ingredient that combines the benefits of keratin proteins with silicone technology. This multifunctional compound is derived from keratin, the primary structural protein found in hair, which is then hydrolyzed and modified with propylene glycol and silanetriol groups.

The hydrolyzed keratin component provides essential amino acids that can penetrate the hair shaft, helping to strengthen and repair damaged strands. The PG-propyl silanetriol portion of the molecule forms a protective film on the hair surface, enhancing shine and improving manageability.

This ingredient is particularly effective in addressing issues such as frizz, dryness, and brittleness. It can help to smooth the hair cuticle, reduce static electricity, and increase moisture retention. Hydrolyzed Keratin PG-Propyl Silanetriol is compatible with a wide range of haircare formulations, including shampoos, conditioners, leave-in treatments, and styling products.

Studies have shown that regular use of products containing this ingredient can lead to improved hair elasticity, reduced breakage, and enhanced overall hair health. It is suitable for all hair types but may be especially beneficial for chemically treated or heat-damaged hair.
