Overview
Hydrolyzed vegetable protein is the blanket name used to describe a wide range of ingredients manufactured from plant-based proteins or protein fibers. The most common sources are grains like oats, rice, or wheat, or fibrous plants like sunflowers or hemp.
These proteins are hydrolyzed, meaning they have been chemically (or enzymatically) chopped up into smaller pieces – which helps with the solubility. Depending on the manufacturer, this ingredient can have many different functions.
According to the manufacturer, it is most commonly added as a moisturizing ingredient. Proteins also help the cosmetic product form a stable film on the skin’s surface.
