About

A conditioning agent derived from wheat protein; helps improve skin and hair feel.

Propyltrimonium Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein is a cationic wheat protein hydrolysate where the quaternary ammonium group is grafted onto the hydrolyzed wheat protein backbone. This improves substantivity to skin and hair and provides a protective film. Wheat proteins are generally well-tolerated; however, individuals with coeliac disease or wheat allergies should note this ingredient's origin.
