Gelatin: The Additive In Daily Chemical Products

Gelatin is not only widely used in food production, but also as an additive in daily chemical products. After being mixed with certain ingredients of daily necessities, it has the benefits of repairing, moisturizing, decontamination, and protecting the skin and hair.

Application in washing and removing makeup

We often find protein in high-end care products. Gelatin forms micelles outside the detergent, so the soap, shower gel, facial cleanser and other detergents synthesized with it are gentler. So that our skin is protected from being irritated by the detergent. At the same time, gelatin enhances the decontamination effect of the detergent. Protein-containing detergents have excellent moisturizing effects and have excellent emulsification effects for cosmetics and other oily substances such as lipsticks and mascaras. It is used in makeup removers to obtain a gentler and better skin feel.

Application in hair care

It is widely used in hair care products. Hair cosmetics containing gelatin moisturizes the hair scales and increases the toughness and elasticity of the hair. Therefore, we often encounter it in products such as perm, hair dyeing, and bleaching to prevent hair damage. And because protein reduces the damage of surfactants, alkalis and peroxides in hair care products. we see it is often added in products like conditioners.

Application in beauty and skin care

Gelatin, combined with vitamins, is used in skin nutrition supplementing, wrinkle smoothing, as well as water/oil balancing. Therefore, it is often used as a raw material for skin care products. For example, collagen hydrolysate and vitamin E are used as a combination to tackle wrinkle problems in cosmetic creams, rejuvenating agents for subcutaneous injection which eventually makes your skin smooth & healthy.
