Hydrolyzed Quinoa

Hydrolyzed Quinoa, also known by its INCI name Hydrolyzed Quinoa, is a revered ingredient rooted in history, considered the "Mother Grain" by the ancient Incas. This ancient grain, primarily cultivated in the South American Andes for over 6,000 years, is not only celebrated for its edible seeds but has also emerged as a powerful natural and sustainable ingredient in the cosmetic industry. Rich in nutrition, Hydrolyzed Quinoa is a complete protein containing all eight essential amino acids, which work synergistically to enhance hair health. The unique combination of cationic and anionic amino acids allows for effective binding to the hair cuticle, ensuring better color retention, conditioning, and protection. This multi-functional ingredient enhances color uptake, provides styling benefits, and imparts shine, delivering beautifully lustrous hair. Additionally, Hydrolyzed Quinoa's moisture retention properties and film-forming capabilities contribute to stronger, healthier strands, making it a vital component in shampoos, conditioners, leave-on treatments, and styling products.
