New Launch: Protesil™ JLH protein hybrid polymer for hair Colour retention and “Build-Up-1 Hair” solution

Published: 1-Jul-2026

SEIWA KASEI has developed Protesil™ JLH (launched in July, 2026), a hybrid polymer that  combines the hair care benefits of plant protein, the smooth feel of silicone, and the hydrophobicity of  alkyl groups

Development background of Protesil™ JLH 

In the hair colour market, polymer compounds that coat the hair surface are widely used to improve colour development and colour retention. However, excessive accumulation of these ingredients on the hair surface may lead to “build-up hair”, resulting in issues such as a heavy appearance and reduced  hair texture. 

Therefore, to address these issues, SEIWA KASEI has developed “Protesil™”, a multi-functional  hybrid polymer composed of protein (hydrolysed protein), a silicone backbone and alkyl groups as a  proprietary colour-care ingredient. Furthermore, we have developed “Protesil™ JLH” based on a plant derived protein moiety.

3 Key Features of Protesil™ JLH 

1. Hair color retention 

Improves hair colour retention by forming a uniform coating on the hair surface.

2. “Build-up hair” solution 

Suppresses excessive adsorption of conditioning polymers, allowing excessive ingredients to be removed during shampooing and supporting the formation of a uniform coating film.

3. Damage repair 

The protein moiety in the structure adsorbs onto the hair and helps repair damage caused by hair  colouring and daily stress.
