    Glossary Keratin Hydrogel

    biomaterial gel from hair protein aiding wound healing

    Keratin hydrogel is a biomaterial made from keratin, a protein found in hair, nails, and skin, that is processed into a gel-like substance. This hydrogel is used in medical and cosmetic applications for its ability to promote wound healing, support tissue regeneration, and deliver drugs effectively due to its biocompatibility and structural properties.
