What In The World Is Functional Keratin In Skin Care?

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 does some good things for our skin like providing some waterproofing qualities, but there are 2 functions in particular that are essential to skin health. Elasticity and strength and elasticity.

Both these are important for optimal skin health, and as our skin ages it starts to lose some of its ability to maintain its strength and elasticity and this is due in part to a reduction in keratin.

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.

There have been studies done on the effectiveness of products that include Cynergy TK and the results have been impressive with visible reductions in wrinkles and fine lines, and a improvement in overall skin complexion.

You can get skin care products that contain Cynergy TK. Cynergy TK is very expensive, but the products containing it aren’t any more expensive than the mainstream skin care products because the company that makes them doesn’t advertise so saves huge amounts of it’s budget, and puts this back into product quality.

The price of big brand skincare products has to reflect the cost of the advertising.

So now you know more about keratin and what it does in the skin, and about what funtional keratin is.

I write more about Cynergy TK on my website.
