Keratec™ IFP PE

Anti-Aging Active for Youthful Hair

ORDER A SAMPLE

A new ingredient for anti-aging, Keratec IFP PE is a unique two-component active that works to protect and strengthen the hair.  It is composed of the intact keratin proteins (Intermediate Filament Protein) that form surface films that protect the hair from environmental stresses and keratin peptides that penetrate into the cortex of the hair fiber to provide strength.  This dual action works to keep hair "youthful" from root to tip!
Levels of tryptophan in the hair is a marker used to determine the age of hair fibers.  As the graph to the right indicates, hair treated with 5% Keratec IFP PE shows no loss in tryptophan after being exposed to UV light.  Untreated hair and hair treated with only a base conditioner sustain losses in tryptophan levels indicating aging of the hair.  A protective anti-aging effect was observed even with 1% Keratec.

Keratec IFP PE produces protective films that are very clear and consistent as shown by the image to the left.  This film was produced by a simple dry-down of the intact keratin from within a glass petri dish.
