The detail on SpecPure™ HK
from SpecChem
Hydrolysed keratin (SpecPure HK) is a potent protein derived from the structural material of animals, particularly from sources such as wool, feathers, or hair. The hydrolysis process breaks down large keratin proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids, making them more effective at penetrating hair and skin.
In hair care, hydrolysed keratin is renowned for its ability to repair and strengthen hair by rebuilding its protein structure, which results in stronger, healthier hair that is less prone to breakage and split ends. It smooths the hair surface, enhancing shine and reducing frizz by filling in the gaps in the hair cuticle. This ingredient also helps maintain moisture balance in the hair, keeping it hydrated and flexible, making it especially beneficial for chemically treated or heat-damaged hair. Additionally, hydrolysed keratin forms a protective barrier on the hair, shielding it from environmental damage such as UV rays, pollution, and harsh weather conditions.
In skin care, hydrolysed keratin improves skin elasticity by providing essential amino acids that support the skin’s natural repair processes, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It boosts skin hydration by enhancing the skin’s ability to retain moisture, making it a valuable ingredient in moisturizers and hydrating serums. Furthermore, it strengthens the skin’s barrier function, protecting it from external aggressors and preventing transepidermal water loss.
Hydrolysed keratin is used in a variety of cosmetic applications including shampoos, conditioners, hair masks, treatments, leave-in products, anti-frizz formulations, skin serums, and creams. Its versatility and effectiveness in repairing, protecting, and enhancing the appearance of hair and skin make it a sought-after ingredient in many beauty products.
