Hydrolysed Nettle Protein is produced by enzymatically breaking down nettle protein into smaller peptides using papain, a naturally derived proteolytic enzyme from papaya. This process creates low molecular weight peptides that are easier to incorporate into cosmetic formulations.

Nettle (Urtica dioica) has a long history of use in traditional herbal preparations and is a well-known botanical in skincare and haircare. It naturally contains proteins, amino acids, minerals such as silica, iron and magnesium, along with a range of polyphenolic compounds, which have contributed to its popularity in cosmetic applications.

Rich in naturally occurring amino acids, Hydrolysed Nettle Protein is a versatile, water-soluble ingredient suitable for both skincare and haircare formulations. It is an excellent choice for formulators looking to incorporate innovative botanical proteins into modern cosmetic products.

We're currently exploring additional testing for this ingredient and hope to share further technical data as it becomes available.
