Compositions containing biologically active peptides are disclosed. Active peptides are isolated fragments derived from human hair or sheep wool keratin proteins. Compositions may be prepared for pharmaceutical or topical administration or for use in cosmetic preparations. La présente invention concerne des compositions contenant des peptides présentant une activité biologique. Les peptides actifs sont des fragments isolés provenant des protéines de kératine du cheveu humain ou de la laine de mouton. Les compositions décrites dans cette invention peuvent être préparées à des fins d'administration topique ou pharmaceutique ou à des fins d'utilisation dans des produits cosmétiques.
