What Do Skin Proteins And Cynergy TK Have To Do With Skin Care?

December 20, 2009 · Filed Under health · Comment 

With age our skin starts to lose some important components which, when we were young, all combined to produce healthy skin. But with age our skin starts to lose some essential qualities such as skin elasticity. Elasticity kept our skin supple and firm when we were young, but with loss of elasticity with age our skin gets looser, starts to sag and forms wrinkles. There’s 3 essential skin proteins that contribute to the elasticity called keratin, elastin and collagen.

Keratin is a very strong fibre that is found in our skin, as well in that of some animals, and is also found in a range of other parts of our body, such as hair and nails. Keratin in the outermost layer of the epidermis and is what makes our skin tough and also contributes to its waterproof qualities. It’s almost like a natural plastic. Keratin actually refers to a family of proteins rather than only one.


The outer part of your skin is mainly comprised of dead cells, containing keratin, and these help our skin retain moisture and help protect it. By increasing keratin levels in the skin it is able to produce new cells and this in turn increases its ability to protect itself.

So you will find keratin in many anti aging products. But this keratin found in regular anti aging products is extracted from feathers, horns and hooves of birds and animals by a process which combines heat with acid. This changes the form of the keratin, making it of little use to the skin. But a new product called Cynergy TK has changed that.

Cynergy TK isn’t actually an anti aging product, it’s an ingredient found in the best anti aging products. It is manufactured in New Zealand from components of the wool of sheep and the results, as shown in studies, of using products with Cynergy TK as an active ingredient have been very surprising. Cynergy TK is patented.

The keratin found in Cynergy TK is extracted from the wool of sheep without the use of heat or acid and this produces a form which is almost identical to that found in the human skin, and studies have shown, in particular because of zinc protein complexes contained in it, that it is particularly effective at stimulating the production of new cells as well as helping the skin repair itself. By increasing the role of keratin in the skin this increases skin elasticity and also moisture retention which is equally important to skin health.

And studies have also shown that the keratin found in Cynergy TK helps stimulate the skin to produce more collagen and elastin, 2 other skin proteins which are very important in maintaining skin elasticity and which are also gradually lost with age.

Studies undertaken on the effects of using skin care products with Cynergy TK show improvements in moisture levels of 14 percent after 18 days use as well as a 42 percent improvement skin elasticity over this time. The result is an improvement in skin health and a reduction in wrinkles that is quite noticeable.

As we age our skin slowly loses its ability to maintain its own health, and this leads to wrinkles, sagging and lines. Ingredients such as Cynergy TK in the best skin care products help restore the levels of important skin proteins and this allows the skin to start restoring optimum health, and restoring health to the skin is the best way to combat ageing.
