Is hydrolysed keratin powder safe for cosmetic use?
Yes – pharmaceutical-grade, low-irritation, and suitable for hair, nail, and skin products.
What makes it effective for hair repair?
High cystine and low molecular weight peptides penetrate deeply to rebuild structure and boost strength/elasticity.
How do I incorporate it into formulations?
Dissolve 0.5-5% in warm water (40-50°C) during cool-down; stable pH 4.5-8.5.
Can it be used in colour-treated hair products?
Yes – 1-2% protects pigment and extends vibrancy against UV damage.
Is it suitable for nail strengtheners or skin creams?
Absolutely – 3-5% for nails; 0.5-1% for barrier support in moisturisers.
Does it have an odour?
Low/neutral – won't interfere with fragrances.
How much for intensive hair masks?
2-5% blended with carriers for weekly deep repair treatments.
Why low molecular weight?
Allows penetration into hair shaft for true restoration vs. surface coating.
