A Gentle Oat-Protein Cleansing Agent Built for Modern Formulas
PROTEOL OAT is a surfactant derived from hydrolyzed oat protein, belonging to the family of mild anionic surfactants used whenever a formulation needs delicate cleansing without sacrificing lather performance. It sits within the broader category of Surfactants, which brings together classic foaming agents and gentler protein-based systems designed for sensitive skin. The 1 kg pack size is aimed at studio and small-batch manufacturers who have already finalized a formula and are moving toward steady production runs of shampoos, gels, or facial cleansers.
The primary application of PROTEOL OAT is in the manufacture of personal care and hygiene products: baby shampoos, hair and body washes for sensitive skin, mild intimate hygiene gels, and cleansing foams or mousses for the face. Oat protein within the surfactant provides soft, creamy foam while cushioning the potentially irritating effect of stronger cleansing agents, which is why it is frequently blended into combined systems alongside more powerful anionic or amphoteric surfactants. Paired with Surfactant AMISOFT CS-22, formulators achieve a balanced blend with rich foam and a genuinely mild cleansing profile, suitable even for products marketed toward sensitive skin. PROTEOL OAT also performs well with betaine co-surfactants such as Surfactant Lamesoft PO 65, lowering the overall irritation index of the finished product and improving the after-feel on skin post-rinse.
Beyond personal care, oat-based surfactants are used in specialized cleansing products for pharmacy retail chains, baby product lines, and formulas targeted at consumers with sensitive or dry-prone skin. In food and pharmaceutical manufacturing, oat-derived surfactant components are used less frequently, yet global demand for naturally derived, cleaner-label surfactants in cosmetics keeps growing, and cereal protein-based ingredients hold a notable place in that trend. It is also worth mentioning potential use in household chemistry, particularly in gentle detergents for delicate fabrics where fiber protection matters alongside adequate cleaning power.
When developing formulas, PROTEOL OAT is typically introduced during the water phase mixing stage at temperatures not exceeding 40-45 degrees Celsius, to prevent protein degradation from overheating. Recommended usage levels in the finished product generally range from 3 to 10 percent, depending on desired foam density and formula mildness; exact ratios should be fine-tuned experimentally for each specific product type. PROTEOL OAT also shows good synergy with sugar-based surfactants such as Surfactant GlucoTain Plus 50 ml, providing extra softness and reducing irritation potential for skin and mucous membranes in intimate hygiene formulas and baby care products.
Store PROTEOL OAT in its original tightly sealed container, in a dry area at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Once opened, it is advisable to use the ingredient within a reasonable timeframe, avoiding prolonged exposure to air and moisture to preserve the stability of the protein component and its cleansing performance.
Gentle Oat Protein Facial Cleansing Foam
PROTEOL OAT 65 g
Surfactant AMISOFT CS-22 30 g
Surfactant Lamesoft PO 65 25 g
Distilled water 860 g
Panthenol 10 g
Preservative 5 g
Fragrance oil 5 g
Heat the water to around 40 degrees Celsius, then add PROTEOL OAT and AMISOFT CS-22 gradually, stirring gently to avoid excessive foaming. Add Lamesoft PO 65 and panthenol, mix for several minutes until the blend is uniform, then cool the mixture to room temperature before introducing the preservative and fragrance oil. Pour the finished foam into pump bottles and let it rest for 24 hours to stabilize texture before use.
