POTASSIUM COCOYL HYDROLYZED OAT PROTEIN

Description

Potassium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Oat Protein is an innovative, multifunctional ingredient for haircare formulations. This compound combines the cleansing properties of coconut-derived surfactants with the nourishing benefits of hydrolyzed oat protein. The potassium cocoyl portion acts as a mild, effective cleanser, while the hydrolyzed oat protein provides conditioning and moisturizing effects.

This ingredient is particularly suitable for gentle shampoos and conditioning treatments. It helps to improve hair manageability, reduce frizz, and enhance shine without weighing down the hair. The oat protein component forms a protective film on the hair shaft, helping to strengthen and protect against environmental stressors.

Potassium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Oat Protein is well-tolerated by most hair types and is especially beneficial for dry, damaged, or color-treated hair. It can help to reduce static electricity and improve overall hair texture. This ingredient is typically used at concentrations between 1-5% in haircare formulations, depending on the desired effect and product type. Its natural origin and gentle cleansing properties make it an excellent choice for sulfate-free and eco-friendly hair care products.
