Sodium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Amaranth Protein is a blend of foaming polypeptides of natural origin used as a secondary surfactant in cleansing applications. It consists of colloidal peptides and carbohydrates derived from Amaranth (Amaranthus caudatus) grain grown organically in Peru.
According to research published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, organic foods have 50% to 60% higher levels of antioxidants than non-organic foods. Amaranth is free of allergenic gluten and is a good source of vitamins and minerals. It offers nine essential amino acids that cannot be synthesized by skin or hair. These essential amino acids promote wound healing, antioxidant properties, lipolysis, water balance, immune stimulation, and skin revitalization. They collectively prevent hair from becoming dry and dull as one ages.
Sodium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Amaranth Protein is non-ionic, stable over a wide pH range, and highly compatible with other ingredients. It provides excellent foam with good density and stability, even in the presence of salt. It is incredibly mild and biodegradable. The protein base enhances substantivity to skin and hair, leaving behind an elegant, conditioned feel after rinsing.
Sodium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Amaranth Protein is an efficient foam booster that produces a rich lather in the presence of salt and sebum. It is highly functional and performs well in cleansing applications with high salt levels. It delivers long-lasting foam with pleasing aesthetics in hard water.Many surfactants that can provide foam, such as Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, are too harsh for skin and hair, causing irritation and dryness. Sodium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Amaranth Protein is developed for mild and gentle cleansing applications. It is a mild foam booster compatible with sebum without losing its foaming properties. Sodium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Amaranth Protein is non-ionic and versatile, allowing it to be used with cationic ingredients, making it particularly suitable for conditioning cleansing gel.
