Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein is a product of breaking down wheat proteins into smaller fragments, peptides, and amino acids. INCI: Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein. In a formula it works as a conditioning and moisturizing component: it forms a thin film on skin and hair, holds water, gives smoothness and temporary tightening, and is especially valued in hair care. It is a supporting component with a sensory effect rather than a potent active. Pregnancy safety. Topical use is systemically negligible, with no evidence of harm. It can be used during pregnancy and lactation. Tolerance. Irritation potential is low. With a marked wheat allergy it is treated with caution, especially the higher-molecular-weight forms.
