TRITICUM VULGARE PROTEIN/ WHEAT PROTEIN
Triticum vulgare protein, commonly known as wheat protein, is derived from wheat seeds and widely used in cosmetics for its conditioning, moisturizing, and film-forming properties, benefiting both hair (strengthening, resistance, reducing frizz, adding shine) and skin (softening, smoothing). It’s rich in amino acids, making it a popular natural ingredient for improving hair elasticity and skin suppleness, though individuals with wheat/gluten allergies should be cautious.
It acts as a repairing agent and helps to repair damaged and chemically treated hair.
It is a non-hydrolyzed, native protein obtained by a natural extraction of gliadin from wheat which binds to the damaged areas of hair.
It restores the mass, seals cuticles and repairs split ends and therefore improves combability and shine.
