Proteomics: next generation biomimetic hair care actives

Biomimetics is a cutting edge technology platform that involves the concept of taking inspiration from nature; its models, systems and processes and exploiting them to meet consumer demands.

 In personal care, the biomimetic approach refers to using proteins naturally found in skin and hair. Keratin proteins have commonly been used in hair care products as a biomimetic solution to replenish and restore the hair and recent innovations in biopolymer synthesis have taken biomimetic keratin one step further. 

Laurdimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Keratin is a keratin mimetic that replaces ‘like with like’ by mimicking the amino acid sequences found in the hair’s natural composition.
