Silk Protein 5 ml

Small-Batch Silk Protein for First-Time Formula Testing

A 5 ml package of silk protein is a practical choice for anyone who wants to trial a new ingredient before committing to a larger order or preparing a small test batch of homemade skincare or haircare. This ingredient belongs to the category of Hydrolyzed Proteins, which brings together substances obtained by breaking down natural protein structures into smaller fragments — peptides and amino acids capable of penetrating the upper layers of skin and hair shaft with ease.

The primary field of application for silk protein is haircare. It is widely used in the production of conditioners, masks, leave-in serums, and repair balms, since it forms a thin protective film on the hair surface, smoothing the cuticle scales and reducing porosity. As a result, hair looks smoother, detangles more easily, and shows less static. In the professional haircare industry, silk protein is often added to heat protection sprays and products for color-treated hair, because the film reduces moisture loss and shields hair from mechanical damage during styling.

The second major application area is facial and body skincare. In creams, serums, and lotions, silk protein contributes to a smoother skin feel and supports moisture retention in the surface layers of the epidermis. It is frequently included in anti-age formulations and products for sensitive skin, where a light, non-greasy texture matters. In color cosmetics, silk protein is used in makeup primers and lip balms to create a silky sensation on the skin.

When developing formulas, silk protein pairs well with other protein and botanical actives. It is often combined with Ginseng Protein Hydrolyzate 50 ml to strengthen the overall toning and fortifying effect of a hair care composition. In skincare formulas, silk protein works harmoniously alongside Yogurt Concentrate, 50 ml — a combination frequently used in moisturizing creams and masks. To improve emulsion stability and texture, many formulators introduce the emulsifier Oleox 5 ml, which helps distribute the protein component evenly throughout the product.

The recommended dosage of silk protein typically ranges from 1 to 5 percent of the total product weight, with the exact amount depending on the product type and the desired intensity of effect. The ingredient should be added at the final stage of production, once the base emulsion has cooled to no more than 40 degrees Celsius, to avoid breaking down the protein chains under high heat. Silk protein should be stored in a tightly sealed container, in a cool place protected from direct sunlight, away from sudden temperature fluctuations.

The small 5 ml volume is particularly convenient for home crafters and small studios who want to test the ingredient in a single batch before ordering a larger size for regular production.

Lightweight Leave-In Shine Serum

Distilled water 65 ml

Aloe vera juice 10 ml

Silk protein 3 ml

Jojoba oil 5 ml

Oleox emulsifier 4 ml

Fragrance oil 1 ml

Warm the water and aloe vera juice together to 50 degrees Celsius, separately heat the jojoba oil with the emulsifier to the same temperature, then combine both phases and blend until smooth. Cool the mixture to 38 degrees Celsius, add the silk protein and fragrance oil, stir thoroughly, and pour the finished serum into a spray or pump bottle for easy application to damp hair before styling.
