Seiwa Kasei's "Botanical Keratin" won first place in the international cosmetics award BSB Innovation Award 2022

 With the growing interest in sustainability in recent years, vegan cosmetics have also been attracting attention in the cosmetics industry. Cosmetics contain ingredients of various origins, and in hair care cosmetics, wool-derived "keratin" has been incorporated into many cosmetics because of its high effectiveness.

Seiwa Kasei discovered that the amino acid composition of the plant "pea" is similar to that of "keratin" and developed "botanical keratin". The hair care effect of botanical keratin is the closest to keratin among many plants, and it has made it possible to realize animal substitution by plants. In recognition of the research and development of these vegan cosmetics-compatible raw materials, we received the first prize in the BSB Innovation Award in the functional raw materials (moisturizing) category.

Three characteristics of botanical keratin

1. 100% plant-derived (hydrolyzed pea protein) vegan-compatible cosmetic ingredients

2. 2. Amino acid composition similar to animal-derived keratin

3. 3. Excellent hair care effect such as improved elasticity
