HIGHLIGHTS

Keratin is a fibrous protein made up of long chains of amino acids, interspersed with vitamins and trace elements. It is the main element of body hair, hair and nails and has a high content of cysteine, a sulphuramino acid. Due to numerous sulfur atoms and the bonds that they form, so called Disulphide bridges, the keratin chains are bound together in a helix-like structure. It is this special structure that ensures rigidity and resistance to nails and hair. Multiple factors, both internal and external to our organism such as stress, certain pathologies, exposure to atmospheric pollutants, physical treatments, use of harsh chemicals tend to gradually degrade the structure of keratin over time.
