Hydrolysate of zein proteins (zeines are a group of proteins from Zea mays, which occur as storage proteins in corn kernels), which are used in cosmetic formulations. They act as an antistatic agent ( reduces static charges by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface of e.g. hair), hair conditioning agent (makes hair easy to comb, smooth, soft and shiny and gives it volume) and skin care products.
