Cosmetic brands are creating leave-in hair treatments with soy proteins
Trend - Personal care brands are creating leave-in hair treatments designed to detangle, protect, and vitalize hair.

Insight - The ever-growing popularity of the self-care and haircare industries has led to products becoming refined and mature, with consumers becoming intimately knowledgeable of commonly-used ingredients and their specific effects, whether in general or to their specific bodies. The sophistication of the industry leads consumers to opt for more organic ingredients with proven positive benefits. Brands are recognizing these desires and are turning to natural inclusions such as soy protein.
