Hydrolyzed Silk

Chemical name (INCI):
Hydrolyzed Silk
Function:
HUMECTANT/SKIN CONDITIONING

The chemical composition of hydrolyzed silk proteins is very close to that of human skin and hair, making them a wonderful source of nourishment and maintenance. Because of the low molecular weight of the molecules, they penetrate the surface layers of the skin and are a naturally hydroscopic material, which has excellent moisture binding qualities to condition the skin. Cosmetic products with hydrolyzed silk supplement the skin with needed proteins and give it glossiness, elasticity and a soft feel.
