Sodium cocoyl hydrolyzed soy protein

Sodium refers to the element sodium.
Surfactant soy protein hydrolysate which reduces the interfacial tension of cosmetic active ingredients and contributes to their uniform distribution during application. Furthermore, the protein hydrolysate reduces the static charge of the hair by neutralizing the electrical charge at the surface. The substance has a cleansing effect, making the hair smoother, easier to comb, softer and shinier and giving it volume.

The name component "Cocoyl" indicates that the ingredient contains fatty acids from coconut oil (Cocos Nucifera Oil) as fatty acid components.
