Keratin is a highly specialized fibrous protein found naturally in the hair and nails. It is rich in cysteine amino acid and differs from all body proteins thanks to its mechanical properties, tensile strength, and protective ability.
Cocodimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Keratin is a soluble hydrolyzed keratin that has been modified with a quaternary ammonium group covalently bonded to the protein. Thanks to this modification, the isoionic point of the ingredient has been raised to over 9.5, producing a truly cationic material that will show improved substantivity, enhanced moisture binding, and extra body-building ability on the hair and skin.
This fragmented keratin derivative is highly substantive and sourced from sheep’s wool. It is particularly valuable to hair care products for its cysteine content, skin conditioning, and protective properties.
Cocodimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Keratin works extremely well to help repair and seal badly damaged hair, such as resulting from dyeing, bleaching, waving, and straightening. It removes roughness and coarse texture, replacing it with smoother-bodied texture.In addition, Cocodimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Keratin has surfactant qualities, allowing it to foam and cleanse in hard water while enhancing the feel and manageability of the hair. It will not leave the skin dry like conventional surfactants.
