keraGEN-IV®

Overview
keraGEN-IV® is proprietary blend of digestible, bioactive keratins that are rich in cysteine/cysteic acid and trigger the production of collagens IV and VII – the structural collagens in the dermal-epidermal junction of the skin.

Clinically proven to enhance the appearance of skin, hair and nails; keraGEN-IV® is the Next Generation Keratin.
  • Thicker, stronger, shinier hair: keraGEN-IV® promotes stronger anchoring of hair follicles in the scalp, reducing hair fall and improving hair health.

  • Reduction in wrinkle appearance: The dermal epidermal junction of skin naturally thins with age, making the skin more prone to sagging. As collagen degrades over time, the skin’s underlying support structure weakens and wrinkling occurs. keraGEN-IV® triggers the production of structural collagens in the dermal epidermal junction, promoting a reduction in wrinkle appearance and skin ‘crepe-ing’ (including the neck area).

  • Skin with improved elasticity and moisture retention means better appearance with that health glow we all want.

  • Less hair in the hair brush each day means fuller, healthier looking hair with body.

  • Healthier nails: keraGEN-IV® promotes healthy nail growth by providing the right amino acid balance.

  • Flexible, stronger nails means less breaks, better condition and easier care for your nails.

  • Protection against oxidative stress: Glutathione is the master antioxidant, protecting skin and hair from oxidative stress. keraGEN-IV® upregulates glutathione and taurine production, protecting skin and hair against radical induced damage and oxidative stress.
In clinical trials of keraGEN-IV®, participants reported initial benefits within 30 days of use, including visible reductions in wrinkle appearance, improved skin suppleness, increased hair strength and shine, and marked reduction in nail brittleness.

keraGEN-IV® is non-GMO, vegetarian, halal certified and is sourced from 100% natural, renewable sheep wool. keraGEN-IV® is available as a free-flowing powder for tablets and capsules and is regulated in the USA as a dietary supplement.

FK Protect Plus™

Overview
FK Protect Plus™ shields healthy hair from damage by providing a natural, protective film that acts as a sacrificial layer.

FK Protect Plus™ is recovered from wool using a mild process that results in a high molecular weight soluble keratin protein. This natural form of protein is biocompatible with human hair and can arrange itself into stable, cohesive films on the hair follicle; taking advantage of three-dimensional interactions of amino acids within the native protein chains.
  • Film Forming: FK Protect Plus™ forms a natural film over the hair to protect the fiber exterior from environmental aggressors such as pollution and UV light.

  • Moisture Sealing: The film can seal in the moisture of healthy hair, locking in its natural water content and retaining flexibility.

  • Smoothing: The fiber surface in smoothed by addition of a continuous, glossy protein layer conveying conditioning benefits

  • Protection against oxidative stress: FK Protect Plus™ has a strong antioxidant potential (222 micromol TEAC/100ml) arising from its unique active cystine component. The antioxidant activity enables it to scavenge free radicals at the point of formation. This provides additional protection against the force multiplying damage of UV combined with pollution.
FK Protect Plus™ is non-GMO, halal certified and is sourced from 100% natural, renewable sheep wool. FK Protect Plus™ is available in bulk solution with detailed formulation guides to add real benefits to your everyday hair care products.

FK Scalp™

Overview
FK Scalp™ is a salon quality ingredient that delivers healthy scalps for beautiful, healthy hair.

FK Scalp™ is specifically formulated to improve scalp health by providing pollution protection and promoting follicle health. Scalp care is essential because it determines the health and condition of hair. Our increasingly complex lifestyles and the adverse effects of pollution are showing greater incidence of hair and scalp related problems such as hair loss, hair damage, dandruff and itchy scalp.

FK Scalp™ is the result of many years of research and understanding the impact of bio-active keratin on both skin and hair. Wound care research has established elements of how these bioactive proteins can stimulate healing, cell growth and antioxidant production. Combined with strong research findings in hair care and skin care, Keraplast’s portfolio of world class research has led to a product ideally matched to the emerging issue of scalp health in industrialised societies.
  • Improved follicle health and hair anchoring: FK Scalp’s™ protein and peptide combination stimulates skin cells to proliferate by up to 160% faster than a placebo while simultaneously promoting the expression of collagen IV, thus improving the anchoring and health of follicles. This promotes scalp health through the quicker replacement of cells and hair health with improved follicle strength significantly reducing hair fall while improving hair strength.

  • Protection from scalp inflammation: FK Scalp’s™ anti-inflammatory agent reduces the PGE2 response in cells undergoing inflammatory stress by up to 70%; reducing scalp inflammation, itching and premature hair follicle death. This reduction in PGE2 response enables maintenance of root nourishment and hair density.

  • Pollution and UV protection: FK Scalp™ protects the scalp from exposure to oxidative stress from pollution such as particulate matter, gases like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide, as well as heavy metals and volatile organic compounds. FK Scalp™ contains higher levels of cystine than any other protein material, scavenging free radicals before they cause scalp damage.
Clinical research into FK Scalp™ was conducted using the Laboratoire BIO-EC ex-vivo model to study human skin response to air pollution. This research demonstrated improved hair anchoring and follicle health, protection of scalp and follicle from pollution damage, and prevention of hair fall.

FK Scalp™ is non-GMO, halal certified and is sourced from 100% natural, renewable sheep wool. FK Scalp™ is available in solution and is well suited for the formulation of salon treatments and tonics.
