Product Overview & Key Advantages
Silk Amino Acid (also known as Sericin/Fibroin hydrolysate) is a premium water-soluble glycoprotein extracted from natural silk. This 80-mesh fine powder is characterized by its balanced composition of 18 essential and non-essential amino acids, notably high in glycine, alanine, and serine. As a dual-grade ingredient, it serves as a powerful moisture-binding agent in cosmetic formulations and a high-bioavailability protein enhancer in functional foods. Its low molecular weight allows for exceptional penetration into skin and hair cuticles, providing structural repair and a protective, silky finish without any synthetic residues.
-
Rich Amino Acid Profile: Contains 18 types of amino acids that are highly compatible with human skin and hair structure.
-
Superior Penetration: The low molecular weight allows deep delivery of nutrients into the dermis and hair shaft.
-
Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF): Acts as an exceptional humectant, significantly increasing the skin's moisture retention capacity.
-
Film-Forming Property: Creates a breathable protective barrier on the skin and hair, adding a natural "silky" luster and smoothness.
