About Us

At Bio Keratin®, our mission is to provide high-quality haircare products that help restore strength, shine, and manageability to all hair types. Our trademark ingredient, natural keratin protein, works to repair damage and protect hair from environmental stressors. With continued use, Bio Keratin® products lead to lasting transformation that helps hair look and feel its very best.

Our Story

The Bio Keratin® brand was founded in 2005 by husband and wife duo John and Mary Smith. As longtime hairstylists working in an upscale salon, the Smiths were constantly seeking solutions for clients struggling with damaged, over-processed hair. They experimented with various proteins and treatments in search of an effective at-home regimen that lived up to the results of expensive in-salon processes.

After much research, the Smiths happened upon a natural keratin protein derived from wool. In tests, this unique ingredient showed remarkable ability to penetrate the hair shaft and fill in gaps and fractures. The Smiths set to work developing a line of keratin-infused products meant for daily cleansing, conditioning, and repair.

Once ready, the Smiths shared Bio Keratin® prototypes with select salon clients. The response was overwhelmingly positive, with noticeable improvements in hair strength, shine, and manageability after just a few weeks of use. Excited by the transformative potential of these products, John and Mary launched the Bio Keratin® brand out of their home in 2005.

What Makes Us Different

Bio Keratin® stands apart from other haircare brands in a few key ways:

  • Patented Natural Keratin Protein: Our products feature a unique keratin protein that is not found in any other brand. Sourced from wool, it mimics the keratin found naturally in hair, allowing for deeper penetration and better repair.
  • Customizable Systems: We offer systems for all hair types, from curly and colored to damaged and fragile. Customers can personalize their regimen based on their hair’s unique needs.
  • Salon-Quality Results: Our products provide dramatic improvement from the very first use. All systems are designed to make hair healthier, shinier, and more manageable with continued use.
  • Complete Regimens: Rather than singular products, we offer multi-step systems for cleansing, conditioning, and repairing. The layered approach leads to better cumulative results.
  • Cruelty-Free Ethos: All Bio Keratin® products are Leaping Bunny certified cruelty-free. We never test on animals or use animal-derived ingredients.
  • Family-Owned Business: The Smith family still proudly owns and operates Bio Keratin®. Our products reflect their passion and dedication.

The Bio Keratin® Difference

So what makes our natural keratin protein so unique? This revolutionary ingredient was discovered after extensive research into the building blocks of hair. We learned that keratin is an essential structural protein, making up about 90% of each hair strand. Healthy hair contains plentiful keratin packed tightly together to create strength and elasticity.

Over time, keratin bonds become damaged due to chemical treatments, heat styling, UV rays, and other environmental factors. Gaps form in the keratin networks, leading to weakened strands prone to breakage.

Bio Keratin® contains a patented keratin peptide that is small enough to deeply penetrate the hair shaft. There it acts as a filler, repairing cracks and holes in the keratin bonds. Hair becomes stronger and more resilient as the keratin networks are rebuilt from within.

Because it is derived from natural wool, our keratin also mimics the shape and structure of human hair keratin. This allows it to integrate seamlessly into hair strands. Other proteins sit solely on the surface, providing only temporary smoothing rather than true strengthening.

With continued use, Bio Keratin® allows for transformative repair and protection unmatched by any other haircare brand.
