Rice Protein Complex (Natural Keratin)

What is Rice Protein Complex?

Rice protein complex is a plant-based active ingredient. It is obtained by hydrolysis of rice and hemp seed proteins. Hydrolysis is a process in which large molecules, such as proteins, are broken down into smaller substances with the help of water.

Rice protein complex is very suitable as a vegan alternative to animal keratin. It strengthens and repairs damaged hair, reduces split ends and provides a natural, healthy shine. In addition, it improves the elasticity of the hair, making it stronger and more resilient.

What are the benefits of Rice Protein Complex?

Strengthens the hair
Rice Protein Complex contains natural amino acids that strengthen the hair fibers and improve their structure. It forms a protective layer around the hair, making it less sensitive to external factors such as heat and chemical treatments. Rice Protein Complex moisturizes and repairs brittle and damaged hair.

Improves elasticity
Rice Protein Complex helps prevent breakage and split ends and makes hair more resilient. This makes your hair feel softer.

Repairs damaged hair
The amino acids penetrate deep into the hair fiber, repairing the hair from the inside out. That is why it is a very nice ingredient for damaged hair (due to dyeing or heat damage, for example).

Moisturizes the hair and provides shine
Rice protein smooths the hair and provides a natural, radiant shine. It helps retain moisture in the hair, making it less dry and frizzy.

Natural alternative to keratin
Rice Protein Complex offers the same benefits as keratin, without the use of animal ingredients.

How to use Rice Protein Complex

Rice Protein Complex is an ingredient that can be easily added to homemade hair care products. Use 1-5% depending on the type of product:

• Shampoo: Add 1-3% to the water phase of your recipe.

• Conditioner or Hair Mask: Add 3-5% for intensive repair and hydration.

Always mix the Rice Protein Complex in your (cooled) product at the end of the preparation process to maintain its efficacy.

Rice Protein Complex has a pH level of 2.6 - 3.5, which can lower the pH of your product. Check and adjust the pH level of your end product to the desired pH level.
