POTASSIUM COCOYL HYDROLYZED POTATO PROTEIN

Description

Potassium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Potato Protein is an innovative, plant-derived surfactant that combines the cleansing properties of fatty acids with the conditioning benefits of hydrolyzed proteins. This multifunctional ingredient is formed by reacting coconut-derived fatty acids with hydrolyzed potato protein, resulting in a gentle yet effective cleansing agent.

The potato protein component provides moisturizing and film-forming properties, helping to reduce irritation and improve skin feel. Its low molecular weight allows for better penetration into the skin and hair, enhancing its conditioning effects. The coconut-derived portion offers excellent cleansing capabilities while being milder than traditional sulfate-based surfactants.

This ingredient is particularly suitable for sensitive skin formulations and sulfate-free products. It produces a rich, creamy lather and helps stabilize foam in personal care products. Potassium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Potato Protein is biodegradable and environmentally friendly, aligning with the growing demand for sustainable cosmetic ingredients. Its versatility makes it ideal for use in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and other personal care products where gentle cleansing and conditioning are desired.
