Product Description
Keratin Peptide Complex water soluble protein complex for hair and skin care formulations
Keratin Peptide Complex is a functional protein complex based on hydrolyzed keratin peptides. The material appears as a clear or slightly opalescent liquid or a light soluble powder depending on the technological format. The structure consists of low molecular weight keratin peptide fragments produced through enzymatic hydrolysis. Due to the reduced molecular size the ingredient disperses easily in aqueous systems and is compatible with gels, emulsions and water glycol formulations. Keratin Peptide Complex is widely used in cosmetic systems where protein based components are required to support uniform distribution within aqueous phases. The ingredient integrates easily into laboratory formulations and industrial manufacturing due to compatibility with humectants, botanical extracts and polymer systems.
Properties and performance for hair and skin
In cosmetic formulations the ingredient creates smooth texture and allows even distribution along hair fibers and skin surface. In gel and emulsion systems it forms clear or slightly opalescent structures.
Industry applications
Keratin Peptide Complex is used in shampoos, conditioners, hair masks, hair serums and scalp care products. The ingredient is also applied in creams, serums and cosmetic gels. It is widely used in professional hair care systems, SPA formulations and functional cosmetic lines. Due to stable formulation behavior the ingredient is widely applied in private label development and contract manufacturing.
Formula example Keratin peptide hair serum
Keratin Peptide Complex 45 g
Glycerin 80 g
Panthenol 35 g
Aloe extract 50 g
Hydroxyethylcellulose 8 g
Purified water 600 ml
Sodium citrate 6 g
Hydroxyethylcellulose is dispersed in purified water until a clear gel base forms. Glycerin is incorporated with continuous mixing. Keratin Peptide Complex is then introduced and evenly distributed in the aqueous phase. Panthenol and aloe extract are blended into the formulation ensuring uniform distribution. The pH of the system is adjusted using sodium citrate until a stable gel structure forms. The final result is a transparent keratin peptide hair serum with light gel texture.
Keratin Peptide Complex is designed for B2B cosmetic manufacturers, formulation laboratories and contract production facilities. The ingredient provides stable formulation performance, reproducible texture properties and compatibility with scalable industrial manufacturing.
