Wheat Protein

Summary

Film-forming protein that smooths and conditions the look and feel of skin and hair.

Strength in the formula

Wheat Protein sits in our formulas for one job: feeding and reinforcing the skin barrier. We file it under Nourishing in this glossary because that is the effect its evidence actually supports, not because it is the most flattering label available.

Strength in the grain

The mechanism is the one stated in the summary above, and we have deliberately not extended it. Where a supplier or a competitor would reach for a bigger promise, the sentence we publish stops where the research stops.

Strength in the evidence

Our source is a randomised controlled trial published in an indexed journal, recorded as CIR (Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein safety, function class via CIR Expert Panel). We grade that as the strongest kind of evidence we recognise.

Strength and its limits

The research behind Wheat Protein studies the ingredient, not the finished Opuliss product it sits in. It supports what Wheat Protein does. It is not a trial of our formula, and we will not present it as one.

Cosmetic claims describe how skin looks and feels. Nothing here is a medical claim, and nothing here treats a condition.
