Small-Molecule Moisture for Hair and Skin
Amino acids are the smallest units of protein. Wheat Amino Acids Liquid BLP gives you the moisture benefits of wheat protein in its lightest form, without the heavier film of larger peptides. It is the single-ingredient version of the wheat side of our vegan keratin alternative.
Why Formulators Choose Wheat Amino Acids Liquid
Low-molecular-weight amino acids are prized for moisturization. They are a smart complement to film-forming proteins: combine both and you cover the inside-feel and the surface-feel of hair care.
