If you’ve spent any time reading about skin health and skin care you’ll start reading about keratin pretty soon. What is it?
You can find keratin in many parts of our bodies. It is a very strong protein that can be found in parts of our bodies like our hair and nails, and our skin.
It is produced in the epidermis of our skin by cells called keratinocytes, and these keratin cells slowly come to the surface of our skin where they form a protective layer of dead skin cells on the surface, and slowly slough off over time.
Keratin has some vital roles in maintaining the function of our skin. It produces some waterproofing qualities, for example. But the main function of keratin in our skin is to promote skin strength and elasticity.
Our skin needs these qualities and as it ages it starts to lose some keratin and so lose some strength and elasticity.
So you would assume that it’s good to use skin care products that contain keratin, but that’s wrong.
The reason is that the process used to produce the keratin found in mainstream skin care products is a process using heat and acid, and this “denaturalizes” the keratin into a form that is of no use to the skin.
So what is functional keratin? This is keratin that is extracted from the wool of sheep without using heat or acid, and so it is not denaturalized. It is functional in the sense that it is still in a form that is available for the skin to use.
It is only recently that this process has been perfected by one small company that makes it and has patented it. It is put into a product called Cynergy TK that is used only in the worlds very best skincare products.
Studies on the results that use of Cynergy TK can produce have been impressive with visible results within a short time, a reduction in wrinkles and fine lines and an improvement in the complexion.
Cynergy TK is expensive, and so the big brand name skin care products don’t use it. But it is possible to get skin care products that contain Cynergy TK, and they aren’t more expensive than other skin care products. Why? Because the big brands spend their budget on advertising, whereas the small niche company spends it’s budget on product quality.
The price of big brand skincare products has to reflect the cost of the advertising.
So there’s some background on the role of keratin in the skin. And about what functional keratin is if you were wondering.
