What Is Hydrolyzed Quinoa?
Hydrolyzed quinoa is derived from the ancient Andean grain through enzymatic hydrolysis. Quinoa is unique among plant proteins as it contains all nine essential amino acids.
The hydrolysis process breaks the protein into smaller peptides that can penetrate and benefit the skin and hair. These peptides support repair and strengthen the keratin structure.
Hydrolyzed quinoa is particularly effective in hair care for strengthening and repair.
