Hydrolyzed Wheat Starch is a hydrolysate of wheat starch derived by acid, enzyme or other method of hydrolysis. Naturally derived, hydrolyzed wheat starch contains wheat oligosaccharides and constitutes a unique hydrating complex offering a combination of moisture-balancing and film-forming properties that work synergistically to give hair better body control, and skin, a smoother softer feel. There are no adverse effects reported or expected from this well-established hair and skin softener.
