What are the advantages of Keraplast keratins over other proteins, such as collagen and vegetable proteins?
• A. There are several advantages to using Keraplast’s Replicine keratin protein. Replicine keratin is almost identical to the keratin present in skin and hair, and so can naturally bind and interact with skin and hair and impart a range of benefits. Other proteins do not have the same structure as the hair and skin they are trying to improve, and so are much less effective. As Keraplast’s Replicine keratin is removed in an intact form from pure wool, the properties are retained. Collagen or vegetable proteins are typically hydrolyzed in order to extract them, and in doing this they lose any form or function that may have been useful in hair and skin applications. The fact that Keraplast keratin is obtained from wool, a fiber very similar to human hair, has obvious benefits in hair and skin care applications.
