What is keratin?
Keratin is a protein that is naturally present in the human body. It makes up the vast majority of hair, nails, body hair and even the epidermis.
What are the beneficial effects of keratin?
This protein is a real beauty ally for having long, strong and healthy hair and nails:
- On the hair: keratin is a precious ally in preserving the beauty and health of the hair. It has the virtue of sealing the scales of the hair, when it is damaged, and giving it a smooth and shiny appearance, thus avoiding split ends.

Finally, keratin provides elasticity and strength to the hair, which considerably limits breakage.
