Higmild®-WPG32: A Preferred Combination of Protein Repair and Silicone Oil Conditioning
With consumers having increasing demand for healthier, shinier, and more compatible hair, formulators seek functional hair care ingredients which have repairing and conditioning effects without compromising formulation stability. Traditional protein ingredients can enhance hair moisturizing effects, and silicone ingredients can bring shine and smoothness but lack deep repair capabilities.
To address these formulation challenges, Higmild®-WPG32 Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein PG-Propyl Silanetriol combines the moisture and repairing effects of Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein and the film-forming and conditioning effects of silane technology, providing an effective solution for shampoo, conditioner, hair mask, leave-in conditioner and so on.
What Is Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein PG-Propyl Silanetriol?
Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein PG-Propyl Silanetriol is a silanized wheat protein derivative produced through the reaction of Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein with 3-glycidoxypropyl methyl dihydroxysilane.
INCI: Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein PG-Propyl Silanetriol
Through combining low-molecular-weight wheat peptides with silane functional groups, this ingredient has excellent affinity with hair fibers and hair surfaces. It can form a resilient protective film, enhance hair feel, reduce friction, enhance compatibility, and lock in moisture.
The Main Benefit of Hair Care Formulation:
Protect and Repair Damaged Hair
Hair often loses protein and lipids caused by coloring, bleaching, heat styling, and environmental stress. Higmild®-WPG32 helps replenish these essential ingredients to support the repair of damaged hair structure.
Its protein-derived peptides can penetrate and adhere to the damaged hair structure, helping enhance overall hair integrity and strength.
Enhance High Shine and Hair Smoothness
The silanized structure has excellent film-forming features, forming a smooth protective film on the hair surface. This protective film can enhance light reflection to improve hair shine, making hair healthier.
Benefits include:
Enhance hair shine
Reduce frizz
Improve hair softness
Improve hair feel
Enhance Wet and Dry Combing Performance
Higmild®-WPG32 forms a lubricating protective film on the hair cuticle, significantly reducing hair friction.
This helps:
Reduce tangles
Enhance wet combing performance
Enhance dry combing performance
Strengthen hair compatibility
Provide Long-Term Moisture
Hydrolyzed wheat protein naturally contains amino acids and peptides which are known for excellent moisturizing properties.
These hair care ingredients help:
Enhance hair moisturization
Improve hair moisture retention
Reduce dryness
Enhance hair soft and elasticity
Heat Protection on Modern Styling Routines
Heat styling tools can pose structural damage to hair fibers. The protective protein silane film formed by Higmild®-WPG32 can help minimize thermal stress and improve hair resilience during heat treatment.
