Wheat Protein in body, hair and skin care products

How to Use Wheat Protein in Body, Skin & Hair Care Products

Wheat protein contains both proteins and amino acids. The amino acids are readily absorbed by skin and hair, while the proteins coat the outer hair shaft, keeping the amino acids in place. The result is shiny, healthy- looking hair! Great in lotions, too.
