Elastin

A protein produced by fibroblasts that is able to create a network of elastic fibres five times stretchier than a rubber band with the same diameter. Elastin fibres give skin its stretchability and elasticity. They comprise just 5 to 10% of all the body’s dermal fibres but are essential in giving the skin its elastic properties.
