Hydrolyzed placenta protein (inci)

Hydrolyzed placenta protein, the protein mixture obtained from animal placenta by hydrolysis processes, is used in cosmetic formulations. The placenta hydrolysate acts as an antistatic agent (reduces static electricity by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface), skin care product, and hair conditioning agent (makes the hair easy to comb, smooth, soft and shiny and gives it volume).
