It is particularly useful for treating hair that has been damaged due to permanent waving and bleaching. This product is a highly specialized fibrous protein, derived from sheep's wool and is naturally found in hair and nails. Adding Hydrolyzed Keratin Protein to formulas not only protects the hair, but also increases the amount of cystine available to the hair, minimizing damage and increasing tensile strength. It is recommended for application in hair care products and skin treatment products.
The hydrolyzed keratin The most important structural protein in tissues plays a role in protecting the body. It is rich in glycine, proline, hydroxyproline, and hydroxylysine, and the content exceeds 40% of the total amount of amino acids.

Benefits
- Strengthening: Hydrolyzed keratin can help strengthen hair by penetrating the hair shaft and reinforcing its structure. This can lead to reduced breakage and improved overall hair health.
- Moisturizing: It has moisturizing properties that can help hydrate both hair and skin, making it beneficial in formulations for dry or damaged hair and skin.
- Repairing: The amino acids in hydrolyzed keratin can help repair damaged hair by filling in gaps in the hair cuticle, leading to smoother and shinier hair.
- Improving Elasticity: It can enhance the elasticity of hair, making it more resilient to styling and environmental stressors.
- Conditioning: Hydrolyzed keratin acts as a conditioning agent, improving the texture and manageability of hair, making it easier to comb and style.
- Film-Forming: It can form a protective film on the hair and skin, helping to lock in moisture and protect against environmental damage.
Application
- Skin Care: Creams, lotions, liquid hand and face cleansers
- Hair Care: Shampoos, conditioners (leave on or rinse off), styling products, mousses
