Science
Mechanism of Action
Functions as a targeted repair complex by utilizing its positive charge to electrostatically attract and bind to negatively charged damaged areas on skin and hair cuticles. Forms a breathable protective film that enhances moisture retention, smooths surface texture, and delivers antistatic benefits through its tri-protein amino acid matrix.

Key findings
- 01 Demonstrates up to 96% reduction in hair fiber breakage when incorporated into multi-step binding systems
- 02 Provides optimal conditioning and film-forming benefits without adverse reactions at therapeutic concentrations
Transparency
Dusting Analysis
Complex protein derivative unlikely to be used in trace amounts due to its specialized conditioning function requiring effective concentrations
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Maintains structural integrity in aqueous systems for 12+ months at ambient temperature within pH 6-8 range; protein degradation occurs in highly alkaline environments
Synergies
- Neutral and cationic conditioning agents
- Compatible quaternary compounds
Conflicts
- Anionic surfactants
- Strongly alkaline formulations above pH 12
Safety
Safety Profile
EU regulation requires secondary amine content below 0.5% in finished products with specific purity standards to prevent nitrosamine formation
