Hydrolyzed Baobab Protein Extract - Water-Soluble Vegan Concentrate for DIY Haircare, Skincare and Cosmetic Formulation
Description
A plant protein that behaves like keratin without the build-up problem. Cold-pressed from the nuts of the Adansonia digitata tree, responsibly harvested in Africa, then hydrolyzed so it dissolves cleanly into water-based formulas instead of sitting on top of them.
What it does in a formula
- Immediate conditioning. Improves manageability and slip on contact, leaving hair measurably softer and silkier after one wash.
- Repair and resilience. Amino acids rebuild damaged fibre, improve elasticity and reduce breakage on chemically treated hair.
- Anti-aging on skin. The same amino acid profile supports firmness and barrier repair in creams, serums and lotions.
- No protein overload. Unlike keratin, baobab does not accumulate on the fibre, so you can use it in daily-use products without the stiffness.
Nutrient profile: rich in amino acids, vitamin C, vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, potassium and iron.
