FSS FOAMING AMARANTH PPS DRK

FSS FOAMING AMARANTH PPS DRK

Cleansers are designed to remove oil, dirt, sweat and sebum from skin through the action of surfactants. Surfactants are substances capable of dissolving oils and holding dirt in suspension so it can be easily rinsed away with water. Many surfactants available on the market are synthetic, leaving consumers to seek more natural formulations. FSS Foaming Amaranth PPS DRK is produced through the combination of protein and coconut fatty acids and has been designed as a natural alternative to synthetic surfactants. 

Proteins are common ingredients in skin and hair care products. Functionally, proteins form films that seal in moisture, economically they are an inexpensive alternative to most synthetic chemicals. Because proteins are integral components in all organisms, there are a wide variety of them available to cosmetic chemists. Due to the BSE stigma associated with animal derived proteins, formulators frequently opt for plant-based proteins. 

Amaranth protein is often hydrolyzed into lower molecular weight fractions to increase its solubility. Often, consumers associate a product’s cleansing ability with its foaming capability. FSS Foaming Amaranth PPS DRK is a hydrolyzed amaranth protein with sodium cocoyl moieties. These sodium cocoyl moieties are coconut-derived fatty acids that enhance the foaming qualities of the protein. Protein/fatty acid condensates have an anionic net charge similar to that of skin and hair so it rinses easily from hair and skin without leaving a sticky irritating film behind. The complex has a hydrophobic fatty acid tail and a hydrophilic protein backbone. The hydrophobic region binds to lipophilic material and forms a micelle that encapsulates lipophilic species. The micelles have a hydrophobic interior and a hydrophilic exterior, which promote easy rinsing with water. Protein hydrolysate improves surfactant skin compatibility while the fatty acid moiety increases foaming properties. The complex also forms a protective layer on the skin through a reaction between the collagen in skin and the protein/fatty acid condensate. This protective layer reduces irritation caused by other surfactants, and improves the degreasing characteristics of the product. 

FSS Foaming Amaranth PPS DRK is a product designed to provide moisturizing and conditioning benefits to the skin and hair. It creates mild foaming and can be used as a natural surfactant.
