SODIUM COCOYL HYDROLYZED AMARANTH PROTEIN

Description

Sodium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Amaranth Protein is an innovative, plant-derived surfactant and conditioning agent used in various skincare and haircare formulations. This multifunctional ingredient combines the cleansing properties of coconut-derived fatty acids with the nourishing benefits of amaranth protein.

The hydrolyzed amaranth protein component is rich in essential amino acids, particularly lysine, which can help strengthen and repair damaged hair and skin. Its low molecular weight allows for better penetration into the hair shaft and skin layers, providing deep hydration and improved elasticity.

As a mild surfactant, Sodium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Amaranth Protein effectively removes dirt and excess oils without stripping the skin or hair of natural moisture. It produces a creamy, stable foam that leaves the skin feeling smooth and the hair manageable.

This ingredient is particularly beneficial for sensitive skin types and color-treated hair due to its gentle nature. It also exhibits excellent compatibility with other cosmetic ingredients, making it versatile for use in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and leave-in hair treatments. Sodium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Amaranth Protein is biodegradable and environmentally friendly, aligning with the growing demand for sustainable beauty products.
