In a particular stage of walnut ripening, the green walnut is particularly rich in active principles and reticulating agents for proteins: the structural phenols.
For skin care applications, Hydrolyzed walnut extract creates new interactions between skin proteins due to its structural and binding capabilities. The skin becomes more firm and elastic (+15%) thanks to structural phenolic–protein interactions.
In hair care applications, Hydrolyzed walnut extract acts as a powerful antioxidant able to make the hair itself an antioxidant, binding the hair proteins. Its hair protection is long-lasting; 3 days after treatment, the hair is still very effectively protected from radicals, maintaining a high antioxidant capacity.
Hydrolyzed walnut extract is able to preserve the dye molecule, hampering the UV/radical-mediated disruption of colors. A hair-care cosmetic formulation containing 1% of this ingredient is able to very effectively protect the hair dye from degradation.See also
