About
A conditioning wheat-germ protein. CIR considers it safe when the peptides are kept short, but high-MW hydrolysates have caused cases of contact-induced wheat allergy.
Skin benefits
- Skin- and hair-conditioning protein film
- Adds smoothness and shine
- Plant-derived alternative to animal proteins
Known concerns
- Wheat-derived; coeliac users may prefer to avoid
- Sensitisation risk if peptides exceed 30 amino acids
- High-MW hydrolysates linked to wheat-allergy cases
- CIR safe only when MW kept under 3500 Da
