Keratin hydrolysate Gluadin 100 ml

Gluadin 100 ml Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein for Formula Optimization and Pilot Batches

Gluadin 100 ml is a water-soluble plant-derived Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein intended for the intermediate stage between first laboratory screening and production scale-up. This pack is suitable when the ingredient has already been initially evaluated and more material is required for repeated trials, concentration optimization, formulation comparisons and small pilot batches.

For first prototypes and initial compatibility testing, Gluadin 30 ml provides the smaller testing format. Once the formulation is established, Gluadin 1 L is suited to scale-up and routine manufacturing.

Additional protein raw materials can be found in the Hydrolyzed Proteins category.

Why the 100 ml format is different

The 100 ml format is suited to:

repeated laboratory trials;

concentration optimization;

comparison of several formula versions;

compatibility testing in different bases;

small pilot batches;

preparation for scale-up;

repeated small-batch formulation work.

This creates a distinct formulation-development intent for the 100 ml page rather than duplicating the 30 ml or 1 L formats.

Technical profile

Manufacturer - Germany

INCI - Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein

Ingredient class - hydrolyzed wheat protein

Protein origin - plant-derived

Form - liquid

Appearance - transparent or slightly opalescent

Color - amber-brown to dark brown

Solubility - water

Alternative names - Gluadin, Gluadin WLM, Gluadin WLM Benz, Plant Keratin, Vegetable Keratin, Vegan Keratin, Phytokeratin, Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein, Hydrolyzed Wheat Gluten

Shelf life - until 10.2027.

Technical identity versus commercial naming

The precise INCI name is Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein.

Plant Keratin, Vegetable Keratin and Vegan Keratin are alternative commercial descriptions associated with the plant protein positioning of the ingredient.

Gluadin should therefore be distinguished from raw materials whose INCI is Hydrolyzed Keratin.

It should also be separated from Hydrolyzed Keratin Oil-soluble because the ingredients differ in technical identity and solubility profile.

Formulation functions

Gluadin is used as a plant protein, conditioning, film-forming and moisturizing ingredient.

In hair care formulations it can be used in systems designed to support softness, smoothness, elasticity and combability.

It is also suitable for formulations for dry, colored and damaged hair.

Finished-product characteristics depend on the complete formulation and selected concentration.

Shampoo formulation

Recommended level - 0.2-5%.

The 100 ml pack is suitable for repeated shampoo development when several Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein concentrations or formulation variants need to be compared.

Compatibility should be evaluated with the complete surfactant and conditioning system.

Conditioners and masks

Conditioners - 0.5-5%.

Hair masks - 0.5-5%.

Gluadin can form part of a broader conditioning system alongside other compatible functional ingredients.

The 100 ml pack provides sufficient material for repeated prototype work and small pilot batches before production scale-up.

Leave-in products

Recommended level - 0.2-3%.

A leave-in formulation should be evaluated independently from a rinse-off system.

The concentration used in a conditioner or mask should not automatically be transferred to a leave-in product.

Hair serums

Recommended level - 0.2-3%.

Because Gluadin is water soluble, the base of the serum should be considered during formulation development.

Skin care formulations

Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein can also be used in creams, lotions, serums, masks, hand and body products, after-shave formulations and professional cosmetics.

Creams - 0.2-2%.

Lotions - 0.2-2%.

Beard care and liquid soap

Beard care - 0.2-2%.

Liquid soap - 0.5-3%.

Compatibility should be confirmed in the complete product system.

Professional cosmetics

Recommended range - 0.5-5%.

The actual concentration should correspond to the specific professional product category.

The 100 ml pack is particularly useful during formulation optimization before moving to routine production quantities.

Related protein raw materials

For another plant protein approach, Hydrolyzed Quinoa Proteins 25 ml can be evaluated separately.

Hydrolyzed Cashmere Proteins 50 ml represents a different protein source.

Another option is Hydrolyzed Laminaria 50 ml.

These ingredients should not be treated as direct substitutes. Their individual INCI identities, solubility and specifications need to be considered.

Pack size progression

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

The 100 ml format is intended for repeated development, concentration optimization and pilot batches.

For scale-up and regular manufacturing, move to Gluadin 1 L.

30 ml - initial testing.

100 ml - formulation optimization.

1 L - scale-up and production.

Storage

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