KERATOPEEL Keratinase Enzyme 100 g

An Enzyme That Dissolves Rough Skin Cells Instead of Scrubbing Them Away

KERATOPEEL is a concentrated proteolytic enzyme that targets keratin, the main structural protein found in the outer layers of skin, nails, and hair shaft. Unlike abrasive scrubs, this enzyme breaks down peptide bonds within dead cells at a molecular level, delivering gentle yet thorough renewal of rough skin surfaces without micro-tearing or irritation. It belongs to the category of Enzymes, Filtrates, and Lysates, which brings together biologically active substances designed for deep yet non-aggressive action on the epidermis.

The primary global demand for keratinase comes from professional skincare and the manufacturing of treatments for heavily keratinized areas such as heels, elbows, knees, calluses, and corns during pedicure and foot-care procedures. The enzyme is widely used in exfoliating creams and masks, spa treatment lines, and professional foot-care ranges. Beyond cosmetics, keratinase is also applied in adjacent industrial fields, including the processing of keratin-rich raw materials such as feathers, wool, and horn waste into feed additives and biodegradable materials, as well as in leather processing as a milder alternative to harsh chemical dehairing methods. This broad range of practical uses makes the enzyme valuable both for small-batch cosmetic formulation and for laboratory research in biotechnology.

In formulations, the enzyme is added to the water phase at the final cooling stage, once the batch has dropped to no higher than 35-40 degrees Celsius, since higher temperatures denature the protein structure and reduce activity. A typical usage rate ranges from 0.5 to 2 percent of the total formula, depending on the desired exfoliation intensity. Keratinase pairs well with restorative and hydrating ingredients: in comprehensive foot-renewal programs it is often combined with Celldetox 5 ml, which helps smooth the renewed skin surface after the rough layer has been lifted. To counter oxidative stress generated during cellular turnover, formulators frequently add the antioxidant ACB Olive Leaf Extract PF 10 ml, while a prebiotic ingredient such as PREBIULIN C90 5 g supports a balanced skin environment after intensive exfoliation.

The 100 g pack size is well suited for small studio and workshop production runs, laboratory formulation testing, and limited batches of professional skincare where precise dosing matters more than bulk volume. Store the enzyme in a dry, cool, dark place, ideally refrigerated and tightly sealed, keeping it away from moisture and direct sunlight, since exposure to these conditions reduces enzymatic activity well before the labeled shelf life expires.

Overnight Foot Renewal Mask

Distilled water 55 g

Shea butter 15 g

Mild emulsifier 7 g

Sweet almond oil 10 g

Panthenol 3 g

KERATOPEEL keratinase enzyme 2 g

Preservative 1 g

Heat the water phase and combine it with the melted oil phase at around 70 degrees Celsius, blending thoroughly until a smooth emulsion forms. Allow the mixture to cool while stirring continuously until it reaches roughly 38 degrees, then add the keratinase enzyme along with panthenol and preservative, mixing until fully dissolved. Transfer the finished mask into a clean container and apply generously to heels and rough foot areas before bedtime, leaving it overnight under cotton socks.
