Homemade Haven Wheat Protein

Homemade Haven Wheat Protein – 30 mL

What it is

Wheat Protein is a plant-derived liquid protein used by DIYers to strengthen, protect and improve the feel of hair and skin in homemade personal care products. It’s a hydrolysed protein, meaning it’s been broken down into smaller components that are easily absorbed and effective at low usage levels.

For home DIYers, wheat protein is a simple way to upgrade the performance of shampoos, conditioners and lightweight skincare without making formulations complicated. It adds resilience and smoothness while keeping products light and easy to use.

What it does

• Helps strengthen and protect hair strands
• Improves softness, smoothness and manageability
• Supports moisture retention
• Adds slip and reduces breakage
• Enhances the feel of both hair and skin products
