THE STORY OF NANOACTIV KERATIN(H)
Nanoactiv Keratin(H): The Ultimate Protein for Stronger, Healthier Hair
Nanoactiv Keratin(H) is a broken-down form of natural keratin protein, allowing it to penetrate more easily into the hair shaft and skin.
It restores strength, repairs damage, and improves elasticity, making it a key ingredient in hair repair treatments, anti-breakage shampoos, conditioners, and smoothing systems.
Derived from Natural Keratin Fibers & Hydrolyzed for Deep Penetration
Nanoactiv Keratin(H) is produced by enzymatic or acid hydrolysis of keratin sources such as:
• Wool
• Feathers
• Human hair keratin fibers (cosmetic grade)
The hydrolysis process breaks keratin into short peptides & amino acids, improving:
• Water solubility
• Penetration into cuticles
• Bonding with damaged hair
TRCkem supplies liquid and powdered hydrolysed keratin with varying molecular weights for targeted performance.
Repair. Protect. Strengthen.
Nanaoctiv Keratin(H) provides exceptional restorative benefits:
✅ Repairs damaged & chemically treated hair
✅ Reduces breakage, split ends, and frizz
✅ Improves elasticity & tensile strength
✅ Forms a protective protein layer on hair
✅ Enhances moisture retention & shine
Used in: keratin treatments, anti-breakage lines, hair masks, conditioners, shampoos, heat-protect sprays & styling products.
