Sodium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein is a sodium salt of the gluten derivative that is made from hydrolyzed wheat protein and stripped coconut fatty acid. The wheat protein is wheat gluten, which is extracted from the grain. It contains high levels of glutamic acid and glycine. Glutamic acid is an extremely effective moisture-retentive amino acid.

Sodium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein exhibits counter-irritant properties when formulated with anionic surfactants. It has a good compatibility with a broad range of cationic surfactants. It is a very mild surfactant with excellent foaming and cleansing properties.

In addition, Sodium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein reduces static buildup and flyaway - due to improved manageability after shampooing and enhances the shine of hair. It provides protective colloid functions coating skin and hair.

Sodium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein is the vegetable version of Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Collagen and the ideal ingredient for plant-based products. It is a safe ingredient for personal care products, not-irritant for skin and eyes, and not sensitizing (hypoallergic). Thanks to its mildness and excellent moisturizing properties, it is used in many shampoos, hair dyes, relaxers, and facial cleansers.
