Insufficient Data / HAIR CONDITIONING, HAIR WAVING OR STRAIGHTENING

Glyoxyloyl Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein/Sericin is a biopolymer complex combining modified wheat protein with sericin, designed to offer structural and protective benefits. While primarily recognized for its efficacy in hair care, it also presents potential for skin hydration and firmness.

Summary

Moisturizing (skin) Film-forming (skin) Hair Conditioning Hair Straightening

Science

Mechanism of Action

For skin, this ingredient leverages the moisturizing and film-forming properties of its hydrolyzed wheat protein component, which helps to create a barrier against moisture loss and enhance skin firmness. Sericin further contributes to skin health through its excellent moisture absorption and retention capabilities, promoting sustained hydration.

Max tested
1.7%
Sensitization risk Moderate

The CIR Expert Panel determined that the Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein component is safe for cosmetic use when precisely formulated to minimize peptide lengths to 30 amino acids (approximately 3.3 kDa) or less, thereby preventing Type I hypersensitivity reactions. It is advised against use on damaged skin, mucous membranes, or in products with potential for incidental inhalation if peptide lengths exceed this threshold. No specific SCCS opinion for the combined ingredient has been documented.

Our Assessment

Verdict

Insufficient Data

While Glyoxyloyl Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein/Sericin demonstrates established efficacy in hair care, the current availability of precise clinical data for its targeted benefits and optimal concentrations in standalone skincare applications is insufficient for a definitive recommendation by Moumoujus.
