Keratin Complex was one of the companies listed in previous Health Canada advisories that took place in 2010 and 2011. The two treatments listed were: Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy Treatment by Copomon (Coppola) and Keratin Complex Express Blowout by Copomon (Coppola). As other companies had done they came up with a quick fix for the Canadian market. The product they provided was Keratin Complex Elite which was a huge disappointment. But, to their credit they took their time with research and development before bringing another disappointments to the Canadian market.
In November 2013 Kingdom Beauty Supply introduced the Advanced Glycolic Smoothing System which was tested by the authorities and is allowed to be sold in Canada.
This new Glycolic formula is a system that features the key ingredient glycolic acid to penetrate the cuticle, providing enhanced protection against frizz and increased softness and manageability. This three-part, synergistic smoothing system combines advanced glycolic technology with Keratin Complex’s signature keratin to rejuvenate and defend the hair against breakage resulting from previous chemical relaxing, thermal styling, coloring, decolorizing, and mechanical manipulation.
