Those are your protein ingredients outlined there. Generally, anything that is "hydrolyzed" means that the items has been made small enough to penetrate all three layers of the hair, directly to the core. On the other side, the proteins are listed towards the bottom of the list....soooo.....its a coin toss for me. How does your hair respond when you use it....stiff/hard?...or soft/moist??

Propylene glycol is the 2nd ingredient and according to Wikipedia it can cause the following;
a. mild eye irritation. Contact may cause irritation, tearing, and burning pain.
b. moderate skin irritation. Contact with the skin may cause erythema, dryness, and defatting

That is it being alone without any other ingredients but it could still possibly contribute to some dryness.



Propylene glycol is used:

• As a moisturizer in medicines, cosmetics, food, toothpaste, mouth wash, and tobacco products
• In electronic cigarettes to deliver vaporized nicotine
• As an emulsification agent in Angostura and orange bitters
• As a solvent for food colors and flavorings
• As an ingredient, along with wax and gelatin, in the production of paintballs
• As a humectant food additive, labeled as E number E1520
• As a cooling agent for beer and wine glycol jacketed fermentation tanks
• As a carrier in fragrance oils
• As a less-toxic antifreeze
• As a solvent used in mixing photographic chemicals, such as film developers
• In smoke machines to make artificial smoke for use in firefighters' training and theatrical productions
• In hand sanitizers, antibacterial lotions, and saline solutions
• In cryonics
• As a working fluid in hydraulic presses
• As a coolant in liquid cooling systems
• To regulate humidity in a cigar humidor
• As the killing and preserving agent in pitfall traps, usually used to capture ground beetles
• To treat livestock ketosis
• As the main ingredient in deodorant sticks.
• To de-ice aircraft.[4]
• UV Blacklite Tattoo Ink

Propylene glycol has properties similar to those of ethylene glycol (monoethylene glycol, or MEG). (Note: propylene glycol may also use the acronym MEG, but as an abbreviation of methyl ethyl glycol.) The industrial norm is to replace ethylene glycol by propylene glycol.
