About
Native keratin processed to be water-soluble without breaking it down into small fragments — gives a richer film than hydrolysed keratin. Generally well tolerated, with the usual sourcing and processing caveats.
Skin benefits
- Larger intact-keratin fragments for film-forming
- Conditions and smooths hair cuticle
- Skin-conditioning film effect
- Higher-MW protein than hydrolysates
Known concerns
- Animal-derived — sourcing traceability essential
- Possible processing residues (sulphites, hydroxide)
- Allergen potential for protein-sensitised individuals
- Not vegan
