FK RESTORE™ is one of nature’s most important building blocks providing structure and order, and is fundamental in the development of healthy tissues including skin, hair and nails. Keratins commonly used by hair care manufacturers are hydrolyzed i.e. they are simply small peptide fragments of one or two amino acids joined together. Keraplast’s proprietary manufacturing and processing technologies gently extract full bioactive Functional Keratin® from natural, renewable sources (sheep’s wool) for incorporation into product solutions to enhance health, beauty and well-being.
