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 our hair and nails and our skin, amongst others. It is a protein that is very strong.

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 if that’s keratin what does functional keratin mean? Functional keratin is keratin that is not changed or denaturalized by the process of extracting it, and is still of use to the skin. It is produced without heat or acid from the wool of sheep.

One very small company has only very recently perfected this process and has patented it, and puts the functional keratin into a product called Cynergy TK that is used only in the very best skin care products available.

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.

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.

Big brand skin care products are priced to cover the cost of all their advertising.

So theres some background on the role of keratin in the skin. And about what functional keratin is if you were wondering.
