Unleash the power of nature with our Protein Cocktail, a premium active ingredient sourced from Italy.

With its exceptional water solubility at all concentrations and a recommended inclusion rate of 2-10%, our Protein Cocktail is a versatile and essential addition to your cosmetic formulations, delivering deep hydration, enhanced elasticity, and a protective barrier.

Description and Key Features

The Protein Cocktail is a sophisticated blend designed to mimic and enhance the natural proteins found in the skin and hair. Its light yellow liquid form seamlessly integrates into various formulations, ensuring ease of use. The core of this complex lies in its hydrolyzed proteins from soy, oat, and wheat. Hydrolysis breaks down larger protein molecules into smaller peptides, allowing for superior penetration and absorption by the skin and hair.

• Hydrolyzed Soy Protein: Known for its excellent moisturizing properties, it helps to improve skin elasticity and provides a protective film.
• Hydrolyzed Oat Protein: Offers soothing and anti-irritant benefits, making it ideal for sensitive skin, while also imparting a silky feel.
• Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein: Renowned for its film-forming capabilities, it helps to strengthen hair, reduce breakage, and enhance moisture retention in both skin and hair.

The inclusion of glycerin further boosts its humectant properties, drawing moisture from the environment to keep skin and hair hydrated. This water-soluble nature ensures easy incorporation into aqueous phases of cosmetic products, preventing clumping or separation.
