Keratin is the protein that keeps hair flexible, providing strength and resilience. In the skin, lipids within the epidermis create a barrier that waterproofs the dermis, preventing water loss and protecting against external elements. Together, keratin and lipids play crucial roles in maintaining the integrity and functionality of hair and skin.
