Hydrolyzed Baobab Protein Extract - Water-Soluble Vegan Concentrate for DIY Haircare, Skincare and Cosmetic Formulation
Description
Hydrolyzed baobab protein extract, a water-soluble vegan raw material for cosmetic formulators and manufacturers who want keratin-like conditioning and repair without protein build-up. It works in shampoos, conditioners, leave-ins, styling products, creams, serums and lotions.
- Best for: haircare and skincare formulators • private label and indie cosmetic brands • shampoo, conditioner and leave-in formulas • a keratin alternative in daily-use products
- Why choose it: from the nuts of the Adansonia digitata (baobab) tree • rich in amino acids • improves manageability and elasticity and reduces breakage on chemically treated hair • does not accumulate on the hair fibre like keratin • water-soluble, pH about 4.5 • 100% plant-based, vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO
- What's included: 250 mL, 350 mL or 1 L of concentrated extract (8.5, 11.8 or 33.8 fl oz). Raw material for formulation, not for direct application.
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.
