Product description:

HydroTide® Hydrolyzed Keratin (CAS No: 69430-36-0 / 169799-44-4) is produced from waterfowl feathers — a β-keratin matrix structurally similar to human hair. Through controlled enzymatic hydrolysis, high-molecular-weight keratin is broken down into water-soluble peptides with low molecular weight, ensuring excellent compatibility with shampoos, conditioners, serums, and other cosmetic formulations.

Our hydrolyzed keratin series is available in both powder (HKP-P90) and liquid concentrations (HKP-LK10C / LK20C / LK30C).

As a dedicated hydrolyzed keratin manufacturer based in China, ZXCHEM produces water-soluble keratin that integrates easily into cosmetic formulations, providing deep repair and strengthening benefits for hair and skin.

Product Applications:

Hydrolyzed Keratin penetrates hair fibers to repair damage from coloring or styling, strengthens hair, and enhances shine and softness. It is widely used in shampoos, conditioners, hair masks, and serums, providing deep nourishment and protection for hair.

  • Hair Care
    Hydrolyzed keratin for hair penetrates the hair fiber to repair damage caused by coloring, heat, or chemical treatments. Widely used in shampoos, conditioners, hair masks, and serums to strengthen strands, reduce breakage, and enhance shine and softness.

  • Skin & Nail Care
    Cosmetic grade hydrolyzed keratin supports skin barrier repair and strengthens brittle or splitting nails. Commonly formulated into nail creams, nail strengtheners, serums, and skin repair products for improved texture and resilience.

  • Cosmetics
    Hydrolyzed keratin protein improves the texture and adhesion of makeup formulations. Used in mascaras, brow gels, and foundations to strengthen lashes and brows while enhancing overall product feel.

  • Medical Applications
    With excellent biocompatibility, hydrolyzed keratin promotes wound healing and is used in medical dressings and skin repair products.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hydrolyzed keratin peptides from ZXCHEM GROUP are produced via enzymatic hydrolysis to achieve a low molecular weight range (typically 1,000–5,000 Da). This small molecular size is critical because it allows the keratin peptides to penetrate the hair cortex — not just coat the surface — enabling genuine repair of chemically or heat-damaged hair fibers.

Yes. Our hydrolyzed keratin is specifically well-suited for color-treated, bleached, permed, or otherwise chemically processed hair — which typically shows the most significant cortex damage and protein loss. The keratin peptides help restore the hair’s internal protein structure, reduce porosity, improve elasticity, and seal the cuticle, resulting in improved color retention and reduced breakage.

Yes. Our hydrolyzed keratin is formulated for compatibility with both rinse-off products (shampoos, conditioners, hair masks) and leave-on products (serums, sprays, styling creams). The water-soluble keratin peptides remain active even after rinsing, as a portion deposits onto and within the hair shaft.

For standard hydrolyzed keratin grades held in stock, production and loading typically takes 10–14 business days after receipt of prepayment or a valid L/C. Lead times may be shortened to approximately one week for stocked items or extended slightly during peak production periods. ZXCHEM GROUP will confirm the exact shipment schedule at the time of order confirmation.
