Investigating oxidised keratin in repair of hair

Proprietary processes are used in the commercial extraction of keratin from virgin New Zealand sheep wool to produce three types of keratin protein fractions.

These extracts are described by the general INCI names of Keratin, Hydrolyzed Keratin and Oxidized Keratin, but have unique properties that differentiate them from other ingredients with the same INCI names, that are generated via other processes. 

Keraplast Technologies manufactures a mix of keratin proteins extracted from New Zealand sheep wool using proprietary technologies. The extraction processes maintain the structural integrity and functionality of the keratin proteins and their composite peptides. 

Three general classes of keratins are produced, denoted by the INCI labels of keratin, Hydrolyzed Keratin and Oxidized Keratin. Each class has a different functional activity for both skin and hair and provides benefits for both applications when topically applied.
