Product Description
Keratin Peptide Complex hydrolyzed protein complex for hair and skin care formulations
Keratin Peptide Complex is a functional protein complex composed of hydrolyzed keratin peptides with low molecular weight. The ingredient is produced through controlled enzymatic hydrolysis of keratin derived from natural protein sources. The material appears as a clear or slightly opalescent liquid or a light soluble powder depending on the technological format. The complex dissolves easily in aqueous and water glycol systems and integrates well into cosmetic gels, serums and emulsion bases. Due to the peptide structure the ingredient demonstrates high compatibility with polymer systems, botanical extracts and humectants. Keratin Peptide Complex is widely used in formulations where a protein component is required for aqueous cosmetic systems and uniform distribution of active ingredients. The ingredient provides convenient processing both in laboratory development and scalable industrial production.
Properties and sensory performance for hair and skin
In cosmetic formulations the ingredient forms a light transparent or slightly opalescent texture and supports even distribution of the product. In hair care systems it contributes to smooth sensory feel and uniform appearance after application. In gel and emulsion formulations it helps maintain homogeneous structure.
Industry applications
Keratin Peptide Complex is used in shampoos, conditioners, hair masks, hair serums and scalp care products. It is also applied in skin care gels and creams. The ingredient is widely used in professional hair care systems, SPA formulations and functional cosmetic products. Due to stable formulation behavior it is commonly used in private label development and contract manufacturing.
Formula example Light keratin peptide conditioning gel for hair
Keratin Peptide Complex 50 g
Glycerin 80 g
Panthenol 40 g
Green tea extract 45 g
Carbomer 9 g
Purified water 650 ml
Sodium hydroxide solution 6 g
Carbomer is dispersed in purified water until a uniform gel base forms. Glycerin is incorporated with continuous mixing until homogeneous. Keratin Peptide Complex is then introduced and distributed evenly in the aqueous phase forming a transparent system. Panthenol and green tea extract are added and mixed thoroughly. The pH of the formulation is adjusted using sodium hydroxide solution until a stable gel structure forms. The result is a light keratin peptide conditioning gel for hair.
Keratin Peptide Complex is intended for B2B cosmetic manufacturers, formulation laboratories and contract production facilities. The ingredient supports stable formulations, reproducible manufacturing processes and compatibility with scalable industrial production.
