Gluadin 30 ml Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein for Initial Cosmetic Formulation Trials
Gluadin 30 ml is a water-soluble plant-derived protein ingredient identified by the INCI name Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein. This smaller pack is suited to initial formulation trials, first prototypes, compatibility screening and concentration testing before a formulator moves to larger quantities.
The ingredient may also be described commercially as Plant Keratin, Vegetable Keratin, Vegan Keratin, Phytokeratin, Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein or Hydrolyzed Wheat Gluten. Its technical INCI identity remains Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein.
For repeated laboratory work and small pilot batches, the next pack is Gluadin 100 ml. Once a formula has been evaluated and the ingredient is required for scale-up or routine manufacturing, Gluadin 1 L provides the larger production-oriented format.
Other protein ingredients are available in the Hydrolyzed Proteins category.
Why choose the 30 ml pack
The 30 ml format is intended for the earliest stage of formulation work.
It can be used for:
initial evaluation of Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein;
first laboratory prototypes;
compatibility screening;
concentration comparisons;
testing in different cosmetic bases;
small experimental samples;
deciding whether to proceed with the ingredient.
This gives the 30 ml page a distinct role from the 100 ml development pack and the 1 L scale-up format.

Gluadin and Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein
The exact INCI identity of Gluadin is Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein.
The term Plant Keratin is a commercial description and should not be confused with the INCI name Hydrolyzed Keratin.
This distinction is important when selecting protein raw materials for professional formulations.
Gluadin is a water-soluble plant-derived protein ingredient, while products identified as Hydrolyzed Keratin or Hydrolyzed Keratin Oil-soluble represent different protein raw materials.
Water solubility
Gluadin is soluble in water.
This property should be considered when selecting the ingredient for a formulation system.
It can be evaluated for shampoos, conditioners, masks, leave-in products, serums and compatible aqueous or emulsion formulations.
Replacing another protein ingredient with Gluadin requires a new compatibility assessment rather than assuming direct interchangeability.
Hair care applications
Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein can be used in:
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.
Gluadin functions as a plant-derived protein, conditioning, film-forming and moisturizing ingredient.
Shampoos
Recommended use level - 0.2-5%.
The 30 ml pack is useful for screening different concentrations in small shampoo prototypes.
Compatibility should be evaluated with the actual surfactant system, conditioning agents, thickeners, preservatives and other ingredients in the formula.
Conditioners and hair masks
Conditioners - 0.5-5%.
Hair masks - 0.5-5%.
Gluadin can be incorporated as part of a broader conditioning and protein system.
The final performance of the conditioner or mask depends on the complete formulation rather than on a single protein ingredient.
Leave-in products and hair serums
Leave-in products - 0.2-3%.
Hair serums - 0.2-3%.
The concentration should be selected for the specific product type.
A level selected for a rinse-off mask or conditioner should not automatically be transferred to a leave-in formula.
Functional role in hair formulations
Gluadin is used as a conditioning, film-forming and moisturizing plant protein ingredient.
It can be incorporated into formulations designed to support softness, smoothness, elasticity and combability.
It is also applicable to formulations for dry, colored and damaged hair and products designed to reduce static.
Finished-product properties depend on the full formulation and use level.
Skin care applications
Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein can also be evaluated in:
face creams;
body creams;
hand creams;
lotions;
serums;
face masks;
after-shave products;
SPA products;
professional cosmetics.
Recommended use level in creams - 0.2-2%.
Recommended use level in lotions - 0.2-2%.
Beard care and liquid soap
Beard care products - 0.2-2%.
Liquid soap - 0.5-3%.
Compatibility should be confirmed in the actual formulation.
Professional cosmetic formulations
The stated range for professional cosmetics is 0.5-5%.
Because professional cosmetics include many product formats, the final level should be selected according to the specific formulation.
The 30 ml pack is particularly useful before larger quantities are required.
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%
Comparing Gluadin with other protein ingredients
Gluadin can be compared with other hydrolyzed proteins during formulation development, but they should not be treated as automatically interchangeable.
For a different plant protein concept, formulators can consider Hydrolyzed Quinoa Proteins 25 ml.
Another distinct protein raw material is Hydrolyzed Cashmere Proteins 50 ml.
Hydrolyzed Jojoba Proteins 20 ml provides another separate option for formulation development.
INCI identity, solubility, recommended use level and technical specifications should be considered for each ingredient.
Choosing between 30 ml 100 ml and 1 L
Gluadin 30 ml is intended for first prototypes and initial compatibility work.
Gluadin 100 ml is better suited to repeated formulation trials, concentration optimization and small pilot batches.
Gluadin 1 L is intended for scale-up and routine manufacturing after the formulation has been evaluated.
This separates the intent of each pack:
30 ml - initial formulation trials;
100 ml - repeated development and pilot work;
1 L - scale-up and production.
Storage
Store Gluadin in a cool, dark place in a tightly closed container.
