MELALINE® (naturally pigmented keratin hydrolysate)

MELALINE® is a patented ingredient derived from the hydrolysis of naturally pigmented keratin sourced from black sheep wool. This hydrolysis process yields low-molecular-weight keratin peptides associated with natural melanin, the pigment responsible for the colour of hair, skin and nails. Its natural origin gives it a composition close to that of human keratin, which supports good bioavailability. Keratin is the primary structural protein of hair and nails. Hydrolysed keratin peptides contribute to supplying the sulphur-containing amino acids — particularly cysteine — required for the synthesis of endogenous keratin. The associated melanin contributes to supporting the natural pigmentation mechanisms of hair fibres. Supplementation with MELALINE® is particularly suited to individuals looking to support the structural quality of their hair and nails, as well as the maintenance of their natural pigmentation. This ingredient is typically incorporated into formulas targeting the beauty of hair, skin and nails.
