Hydrolyzed keratin is a broken-down protein used to help condition hair and skin. For adults it is generally safe and considered low risk when used in normal skin and hair products.
Use products that list hydrolyzed keratin as an ingredient as directed. If you have very sensitive skin, try a small patch test on your inner forearm first. Stop use and wash the area if you get redness, itching or irritation. Choose products from reputable brands and follow label instructions.
Allergic reactions are uncommon but possible — stop use if you develop a rash or swelling (source: Environment Canada notes and general safety listings). Some industry reviewers recommend rules about how the ingredient is made and how much can be used in products, so impurities or manufacturing methods are areas manufacturers manage (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Also, some product verification programs may restrict use unless manufacturers provide supporting information — look for clear product labeling or manufacturer notes if you prefer verified products.
