HAIR, SKIN & NAILS FORMULA Hair, nails and the outermost layer of skin, are composed of varying amounts of the proteins keratin, collagen and elastin plus a range of vitamins and minerals. Keratin causes a thickening of tissues, while collagen has a high tensile strength. They are abundant in harder tissue such as hair and nail. Hair and nail also have more ‘inorganic’ substances such as the minerals silica and calcium. Skin needs to stretch, therefore it contains more elastin. Hair, skin and nails’ health are influenced by the levels of toxins present in the body and can be considered a reflection of general health. For example, people with poor bowel or liver function often suffer conditions such as itching skin, psoriasis or acne. The Skin—consists of the epidermis (the outer layer) and the dermis (inner layer). The epidermis consists of four sub-layers, which progress from germinative (growing) cells at its innermost points to dead cells, which have had their nuclei replaced by keratin, at the surface. The dermis is regarded as the ‘true’ skin. It is a thick layer of living tissue beneath the epidermis, made of connective tissue, and containing blood vessels, lymph vessels, sweat glands and ducts, nerve endings, sebaceous glands, smooth muscle fibres and hair follicles. The Hair—is a highly keratinised tissue. The part above the skin consists of three parts, an outer cuticle, a cortex, which contains the pigment, and the central medulla. The root below the skin surface, begins with a bulb which produces the new cells which are pushed upwards, becoming increasingly keratinised to form the root and shaft. The Nail—almost entirely composed of keratin, nail tissue us an extension of the skin epidermis on the fingers and toes. The root is hidden part of the nail, which is supplied by the germinative cells by the skin dermis. The visible nail body grows as those cells slide along the nail bed.
