If you are interested in researching a little about skin care and skin health it won’t be long before you start to read about the role of keratin in maintaining your skins health. But what is keratin?

Keratin is found right throughout our bodies. It is a protein that is extremely strong and it can be found in the hard areas of our bodies like our nails and also in the softer areas of our bodies, like skin. A lot of keratin is found in our nails, teeth, hair and skin.

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.

There are some important roles that keratin performs in our skin, including providing some skin waterproofing. But in particular it provides skin elasticity and skin strength.

Both of these are essential to skin health, but as we age our store of skin keratin reduces so the strength and elasticity of our skin reduces.

So you would be accurate in assuming that if you use skin care products with keratin in them you are restoring your stores of skin keratin and thereby improving your skin strength and elasticity right? 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.

Now what is functional keratin? It is a form of keratin that has been extracted using a different process other than heat and acid and so isn’t denaturalized. It comes from the wool of sheep and is functional in the sense that it is still in a form that is of use to our skin.

Making functional keratin has been perfected only recently by one small company that has now patented the process, and this company has created a product called Cynergy TK that contains this functional keratin. Cynergy TK is now an primary ingredient in the worlds best skin care products.

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.

Cynergy TK is very expensive, though the products using Cynergy TK are not highly priced for one particular reason.The big brand skin care products (which dont use Cynergy TK as its too expensive) spend up big on TV advertising, so have to load up the price of their products to pay for this.

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

I hope that’s enlightened you somewhat about what keratin is and what it does for the skin, and what functional keratin is.
