Insufficient Data CAS - / HAIR CONDITIONING, SKIN CONDITIONING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING

Potassium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Yeast Protein is a multi-functional ingredient that acts as a surfactant, enabling the effective mixing of oil and water in cleansing formulations. It simultaneously conditions the skin and hair, contributing to improved texture and appearance.

Summary

surfactant hair conditioning skin conditioning antistatic

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions by reducing the surface tension of liquids, which allows for the emulsification of oils and water, facilitating cleansing. For the skin, it helps maintain a healthy condition, while for hair, it improves combability, softness, and shine, offering conditioning benefits.

Stability

Yeast protein hydrolysates generally demonstrate high solubility at highly acidic (pH 2) and highly alkaline (pH 12) conditions. However, solubility is significantly reduced, with a potential for precipitation, within the pH range of 4 to 6, which is typically their isoelectric point.
