Cosmetic Grade Hydrolyzed Pea Protein Surfactant Keratin For Hair Scalp Soothing

KD210 is a premium-grade hydrolyzed pea protein (Pisum sativum) surfactant designed to deliver exceptional hydration and repair benefits for both hair and skin formulations. As a 100% natural-origin biopolymer with 25% active content, this light yellow liquid combines the nutritional power of plant superfoods with advanced cosmetic science. Its unique amino acid profile – rich in glutamic acid, aspartic acid, arginine, and lysine – makes it particularly effective for moisture retention, strand strengthening, and scalp health.

Key Benefits & Mechanisms

For Hair Care:

Humidity-Resistant Hydration: Adsorbs 3.3x its weight in water, maintaining moisture even at low humidity (RH<30%) through peptide-water binding technology

Breakage Prevention: Increases hair plasticity by 40%+ versus untreated hair (in-vitro testing) while reducing combing force

Ethnic Hair Optimization: Demonstrated affinity for diverse hair textures (Type 2A-4C) via cationic amino acid alignment

Scalp Soothing: Arginine content reduces irritation and allergic reactions by 22% (patch test data)

For Skin Care:

Barrier Enhancement: Lysine-stimulated ceramide production improves TEWL by 18% after 28 days

Elasticity Boost: Pea-derived peptides increase collagen I synthesis in fibroblasts (+35% in vitro)

Antioxidant Protection: Natural phenolics from Pisum sativum neutralize 89% of ROS in UV-exposed skin models

Technical Superiority

Water Competition Stability: Outperforms hyaluronic acid in low-humidity environments (62% better moisture retention at 25% RH)

Formulation Flexibility:

pH-stable (4.0-7.0) for acidic or neutral systems

Compatible with sulfates/sulfonates (SLES/SLS tested)

Cold-process adaptable (maintains efficacy up to 80°C)
