    Studysummary In this study, researchers developed cationic liposomes encapsulated with keratin to improve the recovery of UV-damaged hair, finding that these liposomes significantly improved keratin penetration and reduced protein denaturation and lipid peroxidation, resulting in smoother hair surfaces compared to keratin solution alone.
