Hydrolysed Keratin Protein
Hydrolysed Keratin Protein (Hydrolyzed Keratin)
Hydrolysed Keratin Protein is a water-soluble, low-molecular-weight protein used to help condition and protect hair and skin. Processed to maintain purity and low odour, it is rich in the amino acid cysteine, a building block of the hair's natural structure.
In hair care it has been reported to help improve strength, elasticity and smoothness and to help reduce the look of breakage caused by chemical or environmental stress. In skin care it has been reported to help form a light protective layer that supports moisture retention.
Suitable for shampoos, conditioners, treatments and creams, typically used at 1–5% and best added during the cool-down phase.
INCI Name: Hydrolyzed Keratin
Safety information: for external use only. Animal-derived protein — not suitable for vegans. A patch test of finished products is recommended before first use. See the Safety Data Sheet and Ingredient & Allergen Statement in the Product Documents section below for full detail.

Uses ▼
Hair care: add to shampoos, conditioners, masks and treatments. It has been reported to help leave hair feeling stronger, smoother and more manageable.
Skin care: add to creams and lotions. It has been reported to help form a light protective layer and support moisture retention.
Formulation notes: typically used at 1–5%, added during the cool-down phase. Check pH and compatibility, and test small batches to perfect your recipe.
Blends Well With
| Hydrolysed Keratin is water-soluble and blends easily into the water phase of shampoos, conditioners, treatments and creams. It pairs well with other conditioning proteins such as Hydrolysed Silk Protein and Hydrolysed Oat Protein, and with nourishing oils such as Argan Oil and Jojoba Oil, as a broad formulation guideline rather than a documented pairing. |
About This Ingredient
