What is a "hydrolysate?"
A hydrolysate is a product of hydrolysis. Hydrolysis is a scientific/
chemical process by which a substance is broken down typically using an
acid or water. A Hydrolysate of a protein (like wheat, oat, silk etc..)
has special applications in personal care products since it allows the
product, with the hydrolysate added, to absorb more quickly in to hair
or skin. The hydrolysate contains certain amino acids from whichever
protein used and those will be absorbed more rapidly than the intact
proteins by the outermost keratin (protein) layer of skin or hair, thus
maximizing nutrient delivery to the intended place. The amino acids will
also bond with the keratin layer to create a barrier, assisting in
moisture retention. So if you are making a hair care product with a
protein hydrolysate, the amino acids will be absorbed more quickly and
be more beneficial.
