Hydrolyzed Oat Protein Liquid | Cosmetic Raw Material

Description

Hydrolyzed Oat Protein Liquid is a gentle, water-soluble cosmetic active ingredient derived from oats (Avena sativa). It provides moisture retention, a soft conditioned feel, light film-forming and improved slip, making it ideal for haircare, skincare and bodycare formulations.

Hydrolyzed Oat Protein Liquid is made from a process where oat protein is broken down (hydrolysed) into small peptides and amino acids. These are small enough to dissolve easily in water and spread evenly across the surface of hair and skin. The liquid form is simple to use because you can add it straight into the water or cool-down phase without any pre-dissolving.
