Phytokeratin
Phytokeratin is a 100% plant-based alternative to keratin of animal origin, ideal for natural and ethical cosmetic formulations. Extracted from wheat, this small protein penetrates deep into the hair cortex to act as a genuine cellular cement. It repairs, strengthens and fills gaps in the hair fiber, while adding softness, shine and strength. Also used in skin care, Phytokeratin acts as an effective moisturizing agent for body products such as lotions and shower gels.
