The best natural skincare solution may be protein, but it has to be a specific kind of protein and properly formulated. Otherwise, your skin's cells cannot absorb it.
In order to get the proper formulation, it takes a scientific system skincare research team. Since, most of us don't have a research team in our kitchens; we have to rely on the experts.
So, who are the most reliable experts, today? In years past, we turned to the major cosmetic companies. They seemed to know what was best for our skin's health and appearance. At least, that was what all of the TV commercials seemed to say.
But, research teams like the Environmental Working Group (EWG) have questioned the philosophy of the major cosmetic companies. Does it really make sense to use toxic substances like lead-based dyes in cosmetics? Is it really necessary? Are there safer alternatives?
The EWG says that the best natural skincare products are those with the simplest ingredients. In terms of safety, that would be true. But, in terms of effectiveness, we still need the help of the scientists. That takes us back to the protein formulations.
A scientific system skincare research team in New Zealand (trying not to mention any company names here, the editors frown on it) was able to extract the protein keratin from a variety of sheep's wool. The protein keratin is the major structural protein in the skin's outer layers. Collagen and elastin are deeper down; too far away to be benefitted by topical supplementation.
Anyway, so the research team extracted the protein, but they needed to find a way to make it soluble, usable in creams and lotions, without destroying its functionality. The commercial methods require the use of high heat and chemical solvents that ultimately render the proteins inactive.
Eventually, the scientific system skincare research team found a way to process the keratin gently and just enough to make it useful for creams and lotions. The result is a kind of active keratin that the skin's cells can use.
The benefits seen in clinical studies include increased moisture and improved firmness. Overall, it is the best natural skincare ingredient, because it can be used to reduce inflammation and protect the skin from many of the causes of an aged appearance.
Creams and lotions containing the scientific system skincare ingredient may be a little harder to find, but it's worth it to look for them. Nothing that I have tried feels better going on. It leaves no greasy feeling and I think that I am doing the best thing possible for my skin's health and appearance.
Dozens of manufacturers include protein in their creams, lotions and other beauty aids, but they don't do much good if the skin can't absorb them. Collagen and elastin are more common cosmetic ingredients, even though there are no scientific studies to prove they are beneficial.
If you want the best natural skincare ingredient, look for the active form of the protein keratin. It's a good bet.
