HYDROLYZED WHEAT PROTEIN/CYSTINE BIS-PG-PROPYL SILANETRIOL COPOLYMER

Description

Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein/Cystine Bis-PG-Propyl Silanetriol Copolymer is an innovative haircare ingredient that combines the benefits of wheat protein and cystine with silicone technology. This multifunctional compound is designed to enhance hair strength, improve moisture retention, and provide a protective barrier against environmental stressors.

The hydrolyzed wheat protein component delivers essential amino acids and peptides that penetrate the hair shaft, promoting improved elasticity and reducing breakage. Cystine, a sulfur-containing amino acid, helps reinforce the hair's natural disulfide bonds, further enhancing its structural integrity.

The silanetriol element of the copolymer forms a lightweight, non-greasy film on the hair surface, offering protection against heat styling damage and environmental factors. This film also helps to smooth the cuticle, reducing frizz and improving overall manageability.

The ingredient is particularly effective for damaged, chemically-treated, or heat-styled hair. It can be incorporated into various haircare formulations, including shampoos, conditioners, leave-in treatments, and styling products. Regular use of products containing this copolymer can result in stronger, more resilient hair with improved shine and reduced breakage.
