    Glossary Epidermal Keratins

    proteins that strengthen skin, hair, and nails

    Epidermal keratins are a type of protein found in the outer layer of the skin, known as the epidermis. They help provide structural strength and protection to the skin, hair, and nails. These proteins are essential for maintaining the integrity and resilience of the skin, making it resistant to physical stress and environmental damage.
