FSS Quaternized Rice Shine PF

Healthy, shiny hair is always in style—and FSS Quaternized Rice Shine PF makes it easier to achieve. Derived from hydrolyzed rice protein, this ingredient combines centuries-old botanical tradition with modern cosmetic chemistry to deliver deep conditioning and luminous results.

Rice, a global dietary staple, is composed of approximately 8% protein, featuring glutelin, albumin, globulin, and prolamin. These sub-units offer natural film-forming, emulsifying, and moisturizing benefits. To maximize performance in haircare, the rice protein is quaternized—introducing a quaternary ammonium ion that enhances affinity to the anionic hair shaft. This cationic charge improves shine, reduces static, and increases combability.

But FSS Quaternized Rice Shine PF goes a step further: it’s cross-linked to boost molecular weight and elevate its refractive index. The result is a high-shine protein complex that forms a smooth, flexible film on hair fibers—amplifying light reflection and locking in moisture. It also shields hair from the desiccating effects of heat styling tools.

This advanced botanical protein is a superior choice for brands formulating high-performance, plant-based haircare designed to add gloss, strength, and softness.
