About
Derived from hydrolyzed casein, a milk protein, used to help condition hair.
Steardimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Casein is a quaternary ammonium derivative of hydrolyzed casein (milk protein) used as a conditioning and film-forming agent in cosmetic products. It is not subject to specific EU restrictions under Regulation 1223/2009. The ingredient is valued for its moisture-binding properties and smooth film formation on skin and hair. Formulators should note the dairy origin for allergen declarations and vegetarian compliance requirements.
