What is the importance of keratinization?
Keratin is an extremely strong protein which is a major component in skin, hair, nails, hooves, horns, and teeth.

Most of the keratin that people interact with is actually dead; hair, skin, and nails are all formed from dead cells which the body sheds as new cells push up from underneath. If the dead cells are kept in good condition, they will serve as an insulating layer to protect the delicate new keratin below them,
