NewBind Transglutaminase for cosmetic applications

Transglutaminase is increasingly used in cosmetic formulations as an enzyme for protein cross-linking.

With our NewBind product range, we now offer targeted solutions for use in personal care and cosmetic applications.

What is transglutaminase?

Transglutaminase (EC 2.3.2.13) is an enzyme that catalyzes covalent bonds between amino acids such as lysine and glutamine in proteins.

This enzymatic cross-linking creates stable, three-dimensional protein structures that can be used specifically to modify functional properties in formulations.

Applications of transglutaminase in cosmetics

Transglutaminase is particularly suitable for formulations containing proteins such as keratin, collagen, or plant proteins.

Typical areas of application include:

  • Skin care formulations
    Structuring and stabilizing protein-based systems
  • Hair care products
    Modification of keratin-containing formulations
  • Emulsions and gels
    Adjustment of texture and viscosity
  • Protein-based active ingredient systems
    Stabilization and integration into complex formulations

Why use transglutaminase in cosmetic formulations?

  • Targeted protein cross-linking via an enzymatic system
  • Improved formulation stability
  • Control of texture and rheology
  • Alternative to purely chemical cross-linkers
  • Broad range of applications in personal care products
