Phytokeratin: Ingredient Spotlight.
Keratin is a sulfur-rich fibrous protein that forms the outermost layers of the epidermis and appendages (nails, hair, and fur). Generally, the keratin used in cosmetics is of animal origin. At Typology, we have chosen to opt for a plant-based alternative: phytokeratin, referred to as Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein or Hydrolyzed Sweet Almond Protein on I.N.C.I. lists.
This is a fine beige powder composed of hydrolyzed wheat or almond proteins,meaning they are broken down into smaller proteins that will thus have better penetration and interaction at the level of the skin, hair, and nails surface. Phytokeratin is obtained through an enzymatic process.

Margaux (02/20/2019): "After years of applying semi-permanent polish to my nails, they have become completely dry and damaged. So, I wanted to test this product and now I apply it regularly to my nails. I have observed that they are revitalized and strengthened again! The bonus: the size. It's so cute. I carry it in my bag every day."

Sereno G. (01/11/2022): "My flakes have disappeared! There's no need to apply a lot to the hair. The equivalent of a teaspoon is more than enough."

Hair Repair Mask
Marie-Astrif F. (12/16/2021): "I had rather damaged hair recently. It tended to tangle easily and become dull. This mask was the solution: intense hydration, shine, easy to style, and a very pleasant scent! Pure delight."
Melissa G. (12/30/2021): "Soft and nourished hair without weighing it down."
Garance T. (03/07/2022): "I was delighted with the result. My hair was enhanced and became softer. I use it once a week."
Sarah M. (4/05/2022) : " I have thick, long hair, with particularly dry ends. This mask works wonders: not only does it repair my damaged ends, but it also restores an incredible shine and softness to my hair that it had lost over the past few years. While no hair treatment had ever convinced me enough to repurchase it, I just reordered this one! "
This mask, enriched with phytokeratin, biomimetic ceramides, and plant oils, restructures the hair fiber and fills in the hair's cuticles. The hair is repaired and enhanced.
