Properties:
Oats, corn and wheat are cereals belonging to the legume family, from whose seeds flours (starchy parts), germ oils (oily parts) and glutens (protein parts) are obtained . Soya, another legume, also provides flour, oil and protein from its beans.

To separate the protein fraction, which is of interest in cosmetology and dermatology, these 4 seeds undergo a purification process followed by hydrolysis. The first removes almost all non-protein material, while the second produces a mixture of free amino acids and some oligopeptides with an average molecular weight between 1000 and 5700 daltons. 
This process ensures good skin penetration and much greater effectiveness. 

This hydrolysis is carried out using papain, an enzyme extracted from papaya fruit. The combination of these 4 seeds provides an amino acid blend similar to hydrolysates of animal origin, particularly milk proteins or keratin, making it a genuine and useful alternative to these in cosmetic and dermatological formulations.
Contains the essential amino acid tryptophan, necessary for the production of niacin, serotonin and melatonin.

Melatonin is a hormone that regulates multiple bodily functions , keeps the immune system alert and controls biological cycles. It also stimulates cell renewal and has an important antioxidant and free-radical-fighting action, which is why it has come to be regarded as one of the keys to ageing. It has high substantivity to the skin and hair; it reduces the irritating effect of surfactants and their organoleptic characteristics, particularly odour. Finally, it offers actions very similar to those attributed to animal proteins: repairing, biostimulating and protective.

Recommended uses:
In hair preparations, to reduce the harshness of dyes, perms or bleaches, shampoos, conditioners, masks and lotions.
In skin treatment products, such as moisturising, elasticity-enhancing, anti-wrinkle and revitalising products.

Storage:
Keep the container closed in a cool, dry and ventilated place. It is very important to keep the product away from direct sunlight and at temperatures no higher than 15º. If no refrigerator is available, keep the product in the coolest possible area, away from artificial light. Close the container after each use. 

Shelf life: 12 months after opening the container
