What is Rice Protein Complex?

Rice protein complex is a plant-based active ingredient. It is obtained through hydrolysis of rice and hemp seed proteins. Hydrolysis is a process where large molecules, such as proteins, are broken down into smaller substances using 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. Additionally, it improves hair elasticity, making it stronger and more resilient.

What are the benefits of Rice Protein Complex?

Strengthens hair
Rice Protein Complex contains natural amino acids that strengthen hair fibers and improve 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 hydrates 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 within. That's why it's a wonderful ingredient for damaged hair (from coloring or heat damage, for example).

Hydrates hair and provides shine
Rice protein makes hair smoother 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 using animal ingredients.

How to use Rice Protein Complex

Rice Protein Complex is an ingredient that can easily be 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 only at the end of the preparation process into your (cooled) product to maintain effectiveness.

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