Product Description
Keratin Peptide Complex water soluble keratin peptide complex for hair skin and cosmetic formulations
Keratin Peptide Complex is a functional protein ingredient composed of hydrolyzed keratin peptides with low molecular weight. The ingredient is produced through enzymatic hydrolysis of natural keratin followed by purification and stabilization of peptide fractions. 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 efficiently into cosmetic gels, serums and emulsion formulations. Due to the peptide structure the ingredient shows strong compatibility with humectants, botanical extracts and polymer based structuring systems. Keratin Peptide Complex is widely used in cosmetic formulations where a water soluble protein component is required to maintain stable distribution of ingredients and balanced formulation texture. The ingredient is suitable for laboratory development and scalable industrial manufacturing due to high solubility and processing stability.
Properties and sensory performance for hair and skin
In cosmetic formulations the ingredient creates a light transparent or slightly opalescent texture and supports even distribution of the product across hair fibers and skin surface. In hair care systems it contributes to smooth sensory feel and uniform appearance of the formulation.
Industry applications
Keratin Peptide Complex is used in shampoos, conditioners, hair masks, hair serums and scalp care products. The ingredient is also applied in skin care creams, gels and serums. It is widely used in professional hair care systems, SPA formulations and functional cosmetic lines. Due to formulation stability the ingredient is widely used in private label development and contract manufacturing and is suitable for scalable industrial production.
Formula example Hydrating keratin peptide hair conditioner spray
Keratin Peptide Complex 45 g
Glycerin 80 g
Panthenol 40 g
Aloe extract 50 g
Propanediol 45 g
Purified water 660 ml
Sodium citrate 7 g
Glycerin and propanediol are dissolved in purified water to form a homogeneous aqueous base. Keratin Peptide Complex is then incorporated and mixed until evenly distributed in the solution. Panthenol and aloe extract are added and blended until a clear structure forms. The pH of the system is adjusted using sodium citrate until the formulation becomes stable. The result is a transparent hydrating keratin peptide hair conditioner spray with light texture.
Keratin Peptide Complex is intended for B2B cosmetic manufacturers, formulation laboratories and contract production facilities. The ingredient provides stable formulations, reproducible processing performance and compatibility with scalable industrial manufacturing.
