STEARDIMONIUM HYDROXYPROPYL HYDROLYZED SOY PROTEIN

Description

STEARDIMONIUM HYDROXYPROPYL HYDROLYZED SOY PROTEIN is a multifunctional hair care ingredient derived from soy protein. This quaternary ammonium compound combines the conditioning properties of steardimonium with the moisturizing and strengthening benefits of hydrolyzed soy protein.

The ingredient's molecular structure allows it to adhere effectively to hair fibers, providing a protective film that enhances smoothness and manageability. It acts as a potent conditioner, reducing static electricity and improving overall hair texture. The hydrolyzed soy protein component penetrates the hair shaft, delivering essential amino acids that help repair and strengthen damaged strands.

STEARDIMONIUM HYDROXYPROPYL HYDROLYZED SOY PROTEIN is particularly beneficial for color-treated and chemically processed hair, as it helps to seal the cuticle and prevent color fading. Its moisturizing properties make it valuable for dry, brittle hair, promoting increased elasticity and reducing breakage.

This ingredient is commonly found in leave-in conditioners, hair masks, and styling products. It is generally well-tolerated and suitable for most hair types. However, individuals with soy allergies should exercise caution when using products containing this ingredient.
