- How Functional Keratin® Works
Functional Keratin® has high cystine content
- Forms disulphide bonds with human keratin
- Maintains structure of hair, nails and skin
- Repairs damage
Functional Keratin® has specifi c amino acid sequences binding to hair strongly
- Similar to a zip structure
- Electrostatic bonding
- Hydrophilic and hydrophobic bonding
Superior to poorly functioning hydrolyzed keratin in the market
- Molecular Weight 1,000 Da (Peptide) to 60,000 Da (Film Former)
- Biological activity well established
- Anti-aging activity scientifi cally proven
- Wrinkle reduction scientifi cally proven
- Protects and controls the amino acid cystine

- Use Level
- 1-3%
- Mode Of Action
- Hair structure is disrupted during damaging hair treatments such as bleach, color or perm, creating “gaps” in the structure allowing for ingress of higher molecular weight active ingredients.
- Oxidized keratin homology to hair allows multiple forms of bonding within damaged fibers that mimic natural interactions.
- Increased flexibility and extensibility leads to better sensorial properties and a more natural feel while holding color for longer.
- Formulation Guidelines
FK REPAIR ULTRA™ can be formulated into a broad range of hair care systems. Some care required in combination with cationic species, and higher pH is preferred at high inclusion levels.
