Documents
TDS, COA and SDS for every order; exact solids, protein content and pH follow the controlled TDS of each grade.
How it is made
From Feather Keratin to Water-Soluble Peptides
Native keratin is insoluble. Controlled enzymatic hydrolysis breaks it into small peptides without strong acids or alkalis, so the amino acid profile stays close to the source protein. Our keratin conditioning and formulation guide explains cosmetic uses and finished-product testing.
Raw Material
Selected waterfowl feathers, a keratin-rich protein source with an amino acid profile close to human hair.
Enzymatic Hydrolysis
Controlled biological hydrolysis converts insoluble keratin into 400–2,000 Da peptides.
Quality Control
Each batch is tested to the grade specification and released with a COA.

FAQ
Hydrolyzed Keratin Sourcing Questions
What is your hydrolyzed keratin peptide made from?
HydroTide® hydrolyzed keratin is made from waterfowl feather keratin by controlled enzymatic hydrolysis. The peptides fall in a molecular weight range of 400–2,000 Da and are water-soluble.
Should I choose keratin powder or liquid?
Powder suits formulators who want concentrated dosing, longer storage and lower freight cost. The liquid grades HKP-L10, HKP-L20 and HKP-L30 are ready to add to the water phase without dissolving.
What documents do you provide?
We provide TDS, COA and SDS for each order. Exact solids, protein content and pH are stated in the controlled TDS of each grade; certificate copies are available on request.
How is keratin packed and shipped?
Minimum order: 10 kg for powder and 20 kg for liquid grades. Keratin is packed in 10 kg cartons or 20 kg drums. A 20-foot FCL holds 12.8 MT with pallets.
Can I get a sample before ordering?
Yes. We send a free 500 g sample of the powder or liquid grade you are evaluating; courier cost is paid by the buyer. The TDS and a lot COA come with the sample.
