Hydrolyzed Silk Protein

Hydrolyzed Silk Protein is a water-soluble,, silk-derived liquid used in cosmetics to deeply moisturize, strengthen, and improve the texture of skin and hair. Obtained from silkworm cocoons, it consists of tiny peptides and amino acids like glycine and serine that penetrate the hair cuticle and skin barrier for lasting, lightweight repair and anti-aging benefits.

Hair Care: Found in shampoos, conditioners, hair masks, and serums to add shine, improve manageability, reduce frizz, and repair damaged, dry hair.

Skin Care: Used in moisturizing creams, lotions, and serums to enhance suppleness, create a smooth feeling, and act as a moisture-boosting barrier.

Common Applications: Often used in anti-aging products to improve elasticity. 

Key Characteristics

Effect: It forms a protective, invisible barrier, providing a smooth feel and increased luster.

Usage: It is generally safe, non-irritating, and suitable for all hair and skin types, including sensitive skin.

Non-Vegan: It is derived from animal (silkworm) cocoons, though it is considered cruelty-free as the cocoons are used after the worm has departed
