Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hydrolyzed Collagen

Product Description

Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hydrolyzed Collagen is a premium cationic protein derivative specifically engineered in our specialized facility to address the needs of damaged hair and skin. By grafting a quaternary ammonium group onto a hydrolyzed collagen backbone, this ingredient achieves a substantive "film-forming" effect through electrostatic attraction to negatively charged damaged areas. As a key component in the modern "skin-ification of hair" market trend, it offers formulators a high-value solution for delivering structural repair and silky sensory profiles in luxury personal care products.

Product Specification

• INCI Name: Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hydrolyzed Collagen
• CAS No.: 111174-62-0 / 92113-31-0
• Product Type: Cationic Protein Derivative
• Source: Marine or Bovine-derived Collagen (Hydrolyzed)
• Molecular Weight: 1,000 - 3,000 Da (Optimized for penetration)
• Appearance: Clear to slightly hazy amber liquid
• Purity (Dry Matter): ≥ 25.0% (Aqueous solution)
• Nitrogen Content: 3.5% - 5.0%

Key Benefits & Applications

• Enhanced Substantivity: The cationic charge ensures the collagen binds effectively to the hair shaft and skin surface, remaining active even after rinsing (Wash-off resistance).
• Structural Hair Repair: Fills in gaps in the hair cuticle caused by chemical processing and thermal stress, significantly reducing split ends and breakage.
• Moisture Magnet: Exhibits potent hygroscopic properties, locking in essential hydration to improve skin elasticity and hair suppleness.
• Static Control: Neutralizes surface charges to eliminate frizz and improve dry/wet combability in professional hair care systems.
• Applications: Highly recommended for intensive hair masks, "Bond-builder" conditioners, anti-aging facial serums, and moisturizing body washes.

Formulation Guidelines

• Suggested Dosage: 1.0% – 5.0% (Level depends on desired claim intensity).
• pH Stability: Stable across a wide range (pH 4.0 – 8.0); ideal for slightly acidic hair care formulations.
• Heat Stability: Can withstand temperatures up to 60°C; recommended to add during the cool-down phase to preserve peptide integrity.
• Compatibility: Excellent compatibility with cationic and non-ionic systems; may form complexes with high concentrations of anionic surfactants (pre-testing advised).
• Synergy: Combine with Sodium Hyaluronate for intensive dual-layer hydration and long-lasting cuticle smoothing.
