Description
Silk Protein - Smoothness, Hydration, and Protection for Hair and Skin
Silk Protein is an exceptional cosmetic active in the form of silk amino acids obtained through hydrolysis. Due to its low molecular weight, this "liquid silk" ingredient penetrates deeply into the structure of the hair shaft and the surface layers of the skin, offering long-lasting hydration and a high smoothing capacity. It is the ideal ingredient to transform ordinary products into premium treatments, leaving behind a sensation of superior care, natural radiance, and invisible protection.
Ingredients (INCI): Aqua, Silk Amino Acids.
Technical Characteristics
- Nature: Free silk amino acids, smaller than regular hydrolyzed proteins.
- Appearance: Clear, yellowish liquid with a weak characteristic odor.
- Solubility: Completely water-soluble.
- Function: Intense moisturizing agent, hair conditioner, protective film-former.
Studied Performance
The manufacturer highlights the unique benefits of silk amino acids for tissue integrity:
- Superior Penetration: Studies show that the amino acids in this product can penetrate the cuticle of damaged hair shafts, strengthening them from the inside, unlike large proteins that only "seal" the exterior.
- Moisture Management: It has an excellent capacity to bind water (hygroscopicity), maintaining optimal hydration levels even in conditions of low humidity.
- Sensory Feel: Provides the skin and hair with a smooth texture, eliminating roughness without leaving a greasy or heavy sensation.
- Protection: Forms a fine protective film that helps prevent dehydration caused by environmental factors or heat treatments.
Main Properties
- Hair Conditioning: Improves hair manageability, reduces static, and imparts a radiant shine.
- "Silky Skin" Effect: Leaves the skin silky to the touch, making it ideal in makeup products or body lotions.
- Fortification: Helps restore the structure of fragile or dyed hair strands.
- Non-occlusive Hydration: Retains water without blocking pores, making it suitable for all skin types.
Usage Recommendations
General recommended dosage: 0.5% - 3%.
Used as a conditioning agent in all types of skin and hair care products. Applications include hair conditioners, shampoos, skin creams and lotions, face cleansers, body hygiene products, makeup products (including makeup setting spray formulations), bath products, hair sprays, and styling products.
Applications
- Shampoos, conditioners, and masks for dry, fine, or damaged hair.
- Hair serums for shine and thermal protection.
- Face creams with a smoothing effect, "silk primer" serums.
- Moisturizing shower gels and body lotions.
- Liquid makeup products, foundations, makeup bases.
Formulation Guide
- Procedure: Introduced into the aqueous phase or the final phase, cold <40°C.
- Stability: It is stable within a pH range of 4.0 to 7.5.
- Ellemental Synergies:
- Capillary ultrahydration: Combine with Panthenol to retain moisture and soothe the scalp.
- Reconstruction: Associate with Vege-keratin, which acts on the exterior, while silk acts on the interior.
- Porcelain skin: In a serum alongside Pention and Hyaluronic Acid for an instant plumping and smoothing effect.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does it weigh down fine hair?
No. Silk amino acids are extremely light and absorb quickly, providing volume and shine without making the hair "hang heavy," unlike heavy oils.
Is it suitable for acne-prone skin?
Yes, silk is non-comedogenic and provides necessary hydration without stimulating sebum production, leaving the complexion matte and smooth.
Safety in Use
Profile: Safe ingredient, biodegradable.
Precautions: External cosmetic use.
Storage: In a cool place (10-25°C), protected from direct light.

I used it for the first time recently. I couldn't say it's wonderful because I didn't feel any difference in the product. Now it is possible that I may have something wrong with the formulation. We shall see.

I use it on my hair. I add it to conditioner, I have a rebellious and dry hair. I've seen it used in creams. I haven't tried it yet, but in the next production I'll try it in anti-wrinkle cream. I'll tell you the difference :)

Super ingredient! I've used it in skin creams/eye creams and in hair products (mask, thermo-protective spray, conditioner, shampoo) and I think I would rank it among the top active ingredients in terms of instant noticeable effect.
