The Hydrolyzed Rice Protein, with CAS Number 156715-40-1, is derived from sustainable, non-GMO rice bran. This water-soluble, cosmetic-grade vegetable protein is rich in amino acids that offer significant benefits to both hair and skin. Rice, recognized for its mild nature, is often preferred by individuals prone to allergies or sensitivities, and it is naturally gluten-free.
Hydrolyzed Rice Protein has demonstrated notable effects, including a substantial increase in total hair volume, up to 32%. Additionally, it imparts natural shine and highlights to the hair. By enhancing the hair and skin's ability to retain moisture, it contributes to increased flexibility and tensile strength. On the skin, this increased moisture retention creates a more hydrated and elastic surface. Hydrolyzed Rice Protein is effective as an anti-irritant and imparts a smooth, dry feel on the skin. Notably, this protein contains both cationic and anionic amino acids, further enhancing its versatility and potential applications in cosmetic formulations.
Why Hydrolyzed Rice Protein for greater volume?
- The large amounts of cationic amino acids it contains (15.43%) bind to hair.
- Arginine - 8.89%
- Histidine - 2.27%
- Lysine - 4.27%
- The strong levels of anionic amino acids it contains (28.66%) repel hair fibers for greater volume.
- Aspartic Acid - 10.79%
- Glutamic Acid - 17.87%
