Hydrolyzed Avena Sativa Protein

Hydrolyzed Avena Sativa Protein is derived from oat grains through enzymatic or chemical hydrolysis, breaking down the native oat proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids. This ingredient is particularly valued for its unique amino acid profile rich in glutamic acid and proline, which provides exceptional moisturizing properties and forms a protective film on skin and hair. Formulators choose it for its ability to improve skin barrier function, reduce transepidermal water loss, and provide soothing benefits to sensitive or irritated skin, while also enhancing hair strength and manageability without heaviness.
