Hydrolyzed Silk
What Hydrolyzed Silk is & what it does
A silk-derived protein that hydrates and forms a smooth, conditioning film, leaving a soft, silky feel. It improves the look and feel of skin and hair.
What does Hydrolyzed Silk do in skincare?
Hydrolyzed Silk is a protein derived from silk fibers, broken down into smaller fragments so it works well in cosmetics. It is used as a conditioning agent that helps skin and hair feel smooth and forms a light, softening film. It can also give products a silky, pleasant texture.
Is Hydrolyzed Silk vegan?
No, Hydrolyzed Silk is derived from silk produced by silkworms, so it is an animal-sourced ingredient and not vegan. People following a vegan routine generally avoid it. Plant-derived proteins such as hydrolyzed wheat or soy protein are common alternatives.
Is Hydrolyzed Silk safe?
Hydrolyzed Silk is generally considered safe and well tolerated when used in cosmetics. It is applied topically at low concentrations as a conditioning agent. People with silk sensitivities may want to patch test before regular use.
