Hydrolysed Silk Protein
Natural protein obtained from natural silk noils (fibers, fibroin) from the cocoon of the silk worm (bombyx mori). Has excellent moisture binding properties & silky smooth feel. The exceptional purity of silk is shown by the clarity of its film and low ash content. Protein content about 10%. Gluten-free.
BENEFITS
- Works especially well to add luster and shine, body and manageability to hair
- On the skin care it is known for its high moisture binding capacities providing a protective barrier
- It is an amphoteric protein type and is compatible with cationic, anionic and non-ionic materials

Manufacture:
Hydrolyzed silk protein is made by isolating silk thread from the cocoon and cleansing and degumming the fibers. The individual silk fiber is then wound with other silk fibers to create one long thread. The threads are then combed to remove noils which are then used in the production of hydrolyzed silk proteins through controlled hydrolysis.
