Efficiently forms disulfide bonds with hair keratin due to high reducing power! Suitable for incorporation into shampoos, conditioners, etc.
"Curetain Alpha" is a reduced keratin PPT that contains an effective amount of aminoethyl disulfide groups found in intermediate proteins produced through the reaction process of reducing SS bonds based on SH groups. Due to the presence of functional groups with a positive charge, it adheres to damaged hair covered with a negative charge. The reduced keratin PPT, which predominantly consists of SH groups, is expected to have a higher effect compared to hydrolyzed keratin with SS bonds when incorporated into shampoos, rinses, conditioners, and leave-on treatments. 【Features】 ■ SH groups are less prone to oxidation in a solution that is air-tight, remaining stable for a long time in that state. ■ Aminoethyl disulfide alanine groups (AEDA) are pre-reduced to SH groups. ■ With high reducing power, it efficiently forms covalent bonds with hair keratin and repairs damaged hair. ■ It suppresses the generation of cysteic acid (one of the indicators of hair damage). *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
