Promois™ W-42CAQ is a cationized derivative of hydrolyzed collagen from swine gelatin. Thanks to its cationic character, it can adsorb to the damaged part of the hair, repair very effectively and improve texture. It also has anti-static properties. Collagen is a major component of skin protein. It plays a significant role in building up and maintaining our body. Collagen comprises approximately 1/3 of protein in mammals. Its distinguishing characteristic is that it is the only protein to contain both hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine, two amino acids that bring high moisture to both skin and hair. Promois™ series is a range of peptides and derivatives obtained through hydrolysis of natural proteins. It is developed and manufactured in Japan by SEIWA KASEI.
