Hydrolyzed Keratin Peptide Powder is a protein-derived raw material produced by controlled hydrolysis of keratin, breaking the original high-molecular-weight keratin structure into smaller peptides and amino acids. Keratin is a sulfur-containing structural protein, and hydrolysis substantially changes its physical and functional properties, particularly improving its dispersibility and water solubility. Commercial hydrolyzed keratin products are available from different animal sources, including feathers, wool and other keratin-rich raw materials.
MEDIOCON INC supplies Hydrolyzed Keratin Peptide Powder as a specialized raw material for cosmetic, personal-care and hair-care formulations. Depending on the grade, the powder can be supplied with different peptide molecular-weight distributions and protein contents. Commercial examples include low-molecular-weight grades below 1,000 Da, grades below 2,000 Da and products with average molecular weights around 2,000–3,000 Da. Therefore, the molecular-weight specification should always be matched to the actual grade and batch documentation.
Hydrolyzed keratin is particularly valued in hair-care formulations because the smaller peptide fragments can interact with damaged hair fibers and contribute to conditioning, film formation and improved hair feel. It is commonly incorporated into shampoos, conditioners, hair masks, treatments, serums and other personal-care formulations. The functional properties of hydrolyzed keratin depend strongly on molecular weight, protein content, source and hydrolysis method. Scientific evaluation of commercial hydrolyzed keratins has confirmed substantial differences between products with different molecular-weight distributions.
The raw material is generally supplied as a fine powder, ranging from white/off-white to light yellow, beige or creamy-amber depending on the source and manufacturing process. Many commercial grades are highly soluble in water and are designed for easy incorporation into aqueous cosmetic formulations. For example, a current commercial specification for turkey-derived keratin hydrolysate describes a powder with high water solubility, while another commercial specification lists a white to light-yellow powder with a molecular-weight limit below 2,000 Da.
MEDIOCON INC can supply Hydrolyzed Keratin Peptide Powder according to the required source, molecular-weight distribution, protein content, solubility, physical characteristics and packaging requirements. Customers can request the applicable COA, Specification Sheet, TDS, SDS and other available quality documentation. Final specifications should always be confirmed against the actual MEDIOCON product grade and batch COA.
Hydrolyzed Keratin consists of smaller peptide fragments produced from keratin through controlled hydrolysis. Unlike intact keratin fibers, the hydrolyzed material is generally water soluble and has different functional properties.
The molecular-weight distribution is an important quality characteristic. Commercial products range from very-low-molecular-weight peptides below 1,000 Da to grades around 2,000–3,000 Da.
Protein content varies substantially between commercial grades. Documented products report specifications ranging from approximately 69% to ≥90%, depending on the source and grade.
Hydrolyzed keratin is generally water soluble, making it suitable for aqueous cosmetic formulations.
The source must be specified separately because keratin hydrolysates can be produced from different keratin-rich raw materials, including feathers, wool and other animal-derived materials.
