What is a "hydrolysate?" A hydrolysate is a product of hydrolysis. Hydrolysis is a scientific/ chemical  process by which a substance is broken down typically using an acid or water. A Hydrolysate of a protein (like wheat, oat, silk etc..) has special applications in personal care products since it allows the product, with the hydrolysate added, to absorb more quickly in to hair or skin. The hydrolysate contains certain amino acids from whichever protein used and those will be absorbed more rapidly than the intact proteins by the outermost keratin (protein) layer of skin or hair, thus maximizing nutrient delivery to the intended place. The amino acids will also bond with the keratin layer to create a barrier, assisting in moisture retention. So if you are making a hair care product with a protein hydrolysate, the amino acids will be absorbed more quickly and be more beneficial.

    Silk Liquid Peptide

    Posted by Colleen bullis on Jan 17th 2020

    I'm only doing 4 stars as I have not used any in my topical rubs as of yet. The smell is kind of strong, but I will be mixing with essential oils, so it should be fine. I usually use the silk peptide powder, but thought the liquid may be better for my topicals. I'll review again after my first new batch. Came looking like the photo, I used the powder before and loved it, leaves you skin feeling like silk.
