What is Silk Powder and its origin
Silk Powder is a natural ingredient obtained from silkworm cocoons using specialized extraction and micronization techniques. Proteins such as fibroin and sericin are isolated and processed into a fine, lightweight powder with exceptional compatibility to human skin and hair. Its smooth texture and beneficial properties make Silk Powder a premium additive in modern cosmetic and personal care formulations.
Composition and distinctive features
Rich in amino acids, Silk Powder mimics the natural protein structure of skin and hair. It delivers hydration, supports repair, and improves the sensory profile of finished products, making them softer and more comfortable to use.

Applications of Silk Powder
Skin care and cosmetics

Hair care formulations
Used in shampoos, conditioners, balms, and intensive masks, Silk Powder helps strengthen hair, restore shine, and protect against structural damage.
