SODIUM COCOYL HYDROLYZED PEA PROTEIN

Description

Sodium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Pea Protein is an innovative, plant-based surfactant and conditioning agent derived from coconut oil and pea protein. This multifunctional ingredient offers gentle cleansing properties while providing moisturizing and strengthening benefits to both skin and hair. Its unique composition combines the mildness of coconut-derived cleansers with the nourishing properties of hydrolyzed pea protein.

In skincare formulations, Sodium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Pea Protein helps to cleanse the skin without stripping its natural oils, making it suitable for sensitive skin types. It also aids in improving skin hydration and elasticity. In haircare products, this ingredient helps to cleanse the scalp and hair while simultaneously conditioning and strengthening the hair shaft. The hydrolyzed pea protein component can penetrate the hair cuticle, providing internal support and improving overall hair health.

This ingredient is particularly valuable in sulfate-free formulations, offering an effective alternative to traditional surfactants. Its natural origin and biodegradability make it an appealing choice for eco-conscious consumers and formulators seeking sustainable options in personal care products.
