Question
I have Hydrolyzed Keratin (Product ID 657). Can this be used in a hair mask or treatment that is washed off? Is it soluble in oil?
Answer
Based on the information from the staff, natural Keratin is a protein that is soluble in water, not oil. The company does not currently offer a chemically modified Keratin product that is oil-soluble. The Pure Keratin (Natural, Sheep Wool) product (ID 657) you previously ordered is water-soluble and is recommended for leave-on applications like hair spray rather than wash-off treatments.
