This invention relates to novel activated compositions containing proteins, stable in storage and comprising reducing agents such as ammonium thioglycolate and, where appropriate, oxidizing agents such as hydrogen peroxide and / or antioxidants, preferably volatile antioxidants. These compositions are useful for treating horny keratinous tissues of mammals such as human hair and nails and animal hooves and fur in order to improve their resistance and appearance. In addition, these compositions help promote the growth of hair and nails. |
