Keratin hydrolysate Gluadin 1 L

Gluadin 1 L Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein for Cosmetic Manufacturing and Scale-Up

Gluadin 1 L is a water-soluble plant-derived protein ingredient with the INCI name Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein. The 1 L format is intended for formulation scale-up, regular manufacturing and repeated production use after the ingredient has been evaluated in smaller laboratory batches.

For first prototypes and compatibility screening, Gluadin 30 ml provides the initial testing format. For repeated formulation trials and small pilot batches before production scale-up, Gluadin 100 ml provides the intermediate volume.

Other protein raw materials are available in the Hydrolyzed Proteins category.

Production role of the 1 L pack

The 1 L pack is designed for a different stage of product development than the smaller Gluadin formats.

Typical uses include:

scaling an approved laboratory formula;

regular cosmetic manufacturing;

production batches of shampoo;

production of conditioners and hair masks;

leave-in product manufacturing;

hair serum production;

cream and lotion production;

professional cosmetic lines;

repeated B2B formulation work;

routine use of Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein.

For a completely new formulation, preliminary testing with a smaller pack remains appropriate before scale-up.

Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein as the primary technical identity

The primary technical identity of Gluadin is Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein.

Plant Keratin, Vegetable Keratin and Vegan Keratin are commercial terms associated with the plant-derived protein positioning of the ingredient.

They do not change the INCI into Hydrolyzed Keratin.

This distinction is important in professional sourcing and formulation because several different protein raw materials may be marketed with keratin-related terminology.

Water-soluble protein for formulation systems

Gluadin is water soluble.

This property supports its use in compatible aqueous and emulsion formulations.

It can be considered for shampoos, conditioners, masks, leave-in products, serums, creams, lotions and other compatible cosmetic systems.

If a formulator replaces another hydrolyzed protein with Gluadin, compatibility and finished-product properties should be reassessed.

Hair care manufacturing

Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein can be incorporated into:

shampoos;

conditioners;

hair masks;

balms;

leave-in products;

hair serums;

thermal protection formulations;

products for dry hair;

products for colored hair;

products for damaged hair;

professional hair care products.

Gluadin functions as a plant-derived protein, conditioning, film-forming and moisturizing ingredient.

Shampoo production

Recommended level - 0.2-5%.

During scale-up, the concentration established during laboratory development should be maintained according to the approved formulation.

Compatibility with the surfactant system and other formulation components should already be evaluated before larger production batches are manufactured.

Conditioner production

Recommended level - 0.5-5%.

Gluadin can be incorporated as one part of a broader conditioning system.

Finished-product characteristics depend on the complete formula, including other conditioning agents and functional ingredients.

Hair mask production

Recommended level - 0.5-5%.

The ingredient can be incorporated into formulations for dry, colored and damaged hair.

In an emulsion mask, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein functions within the complete system of emulsifiers, oils, conditioning ingredients, humectants, preservatives and other materials.

Leave-in products and hair serums

Leave-in products - 0.2-3%.

Hair serums - 0.2-3%.

Use levels should be selected specifically for these product formats rather than copied directly from rinse-off formulations.

Functional role in hair care

Gluadin is used for its protein, conditioning, film-forming and moisturizing functions.

It can be included in formulations intended to support hair softness, smoothness, elasticity and combability.

The ingredient can also be used in formulations for dry, colored and damaged hair and products intended to reduce static.

The finished formula determines overall product performance.

Skin care manufacturing

Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein can also be used in:

face creams;

body creams;

hand creams;

lotions;

serums;

face masks;

after-shave products;

SPA formulations;

professional cosmetics.

Creams - 0.2-2%.

Lotions - 0.2-2%.

Beard care and liquid soap

Beard care products - 0.2-2%.

Liquid soap - 0.5-3%.

The ingredient should be evaluated within the complete product system.

Professional cosmetic products

The stated use range for professional cosmetics is 0.5-5%.

Because this category includes different formulation types, the working level should correspond to the specific finished product.

The 1 L pack is suited to repeated manufacturing after formulation parameters have been established.

Recommended use levels

Shampoos - 0.2-5%

Conditioners - 0.5-5%

Hair masks - 0.5-5%

Leave-in products - 0.2-3%

Hair serums - 0.2-3%

Creams - 0.2-2%

Lotions - 0.2-2%

Beard care - 0.2-2%

Liquid soap - 0.5-3%

Professional cosmetics - 0.5-5%

Gluadin for scale-up

The 1 L format is intended for the stage at which Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein has already been evaluated and incorporated into a repeatable formulation.

This makes it suitable for:

production scale-up;

routine batch manufacturing;

repeat production of an established formula;

professional product development;

manufacturing several products using the same protein ingredient;

B2B cosmetic production.

Initial concentration and compatibility work should preferably be completed before larger-scale manufacturing.

Related hydrolyzed proteins

For a different plant protein system, formulators can separately evaluate Hydrolyzed Quinoa Proteins 25 ml.

Hydrolyzed Cashmere Proteins 50 ml represents a different protein source.

Another separate raw material is Hydrolyzed Jojoba Proteins 20 ml.

These products should not be considered automatic substitutes for Gluadin. Each should be assessed according to its own INCI, solubility and technical specification.

Gluadin versus Hydrolyzed Keratin

Gluadin has the INCI name Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein.

A conventional hydrolyzed keratin ingredient is identified as Hydrolyzed Keratin.

They are therefore different protein raw materials even when keratin-related commercial terminology appears in the product name.

This distinction is especially important when scaling professional formulations.

Gluadin versus Hydrolyzed Keratin Oil-soluble

Gluadin is water soluble.

Hydrolyzed Keratin Oil-soluble represents a different protein ingredient with a different solubility profile.

A formulation using one should not automatically be converted to the other without new compatibility testing.

Choosing the correct Gluadin pack size

For initial ingredient evaluation and first prototypes, use Gluadin 30 ml.

For repeated laboratory trials, concentration optimization and pilot batches, use Gluadin 100 ml.

The 1 L format is intended for scale-up, regular manufacturing and production-volume use.

The three pack sizes therefore serve different stages:

30 ml - initial testing;

100 ml - repeated formulation development;

1 L - scale-up and production.

Plant-based formulation concepts

Because the protein component is plant-derived, Gluadin can be considered for formulations built around plant protein concepts.

Vegan Keratin is among the alternative commercial names associated with the product.

However, the vegan status of a finished cosmetic product depends on the entire formulation and documentation for all raw materials, not on Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein alone.

Appearance and storage

Gluadin is a transparent or slightly opalescent liquid ranging from amber-brown to dark brown.

For production quality control, the specification and documentation for the individual batch should be used.

Store the product in a cool, dark place in a tightly closed container.
