SOYAMIDOETHYLDIMONIUM/TRIMONIUM HYDROXYPROPYL HYDROLYZED WHEAT PROTEIN.

Valuable CAS 222400-09-1 / ANTISTATIC, HAIR CONDITIONING

This ingredient is a modified wheat protein derivative engineered to enhance skin hydration and texture. It actively forms a protective layer, aiding in moisture retention and reinforcing the skin's natural barrier against environmental stressors. Its conditioning properties lead to a noticeably softer and smoother complexion.

Summary

Skin Conditioning

Science

Mechanism of Action

This derivative of hydrolyzed wheat protein operates by establishing a delicate, protective film on the skin's surface. This film effectively minimizes transepidermal water loss, thus supporting moisture retention and preventing dehydration. Concurrently, it refines skin texture, imparting a softer and smoother feel, while bolstering the skin's innate barrier function against external aggressors.
