Information

Hydrolyzed Silk is a protein derived from silk fibers that have been broken down into smaller, water-soluble molecules through a process called hydrolysis. This ingredient is highly valued in skincare for its ability to provide deep hydration, contribute to skin texture and to the overall appearance of the skin. Hydrolyzed Silk is often referred to as silk protein and is known for its luxurious feel and moisturizing properties.

Where does it come from?

Hydrolyzed Silk is sourced from the cocoons of silkworms, specifically the Bombyx mori species. The silk fibers are extracted and then undergo a hydrolysis process, which involves breaking down the large silk proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids. This process makes the silk proteins water-soluble and easily absorbed by the skin, allowing them to provide their beneficial properties.
