Sodium cocoyl hydrolyzed rice protein (inci)

"Sodium" denotes the element sodium, "cocoyl" the fatty acid component, fatty acids from coconut oil (Cocos Nucifera Oil), "hydrolyzed rice protein", a hydrolysate obtained from rice proteins by enzymatic hydrolysis, acid hydrolysis or other hydrolysis processes.

Sodium cocoyl hydrolyzed rice protein is used in cosmetic formulations. The substance acts as an antistatic agent (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface, for example of hair) and as a combability aid (reduces or prevents tangling of the hair due to changes or damage to the hair surface and thus improves combability).
