Liquid Silk 10 ml

Silk Protein Hydrolysate for Small-Batch Hair and Skin Formulas

Liquid Silk is a water-soluble hydrolysate of fibroin, a natural protein produced by silkworms during cocoon formation. Due to its low molecular weight, the resulting amino acid fragments penetrate damaged sections of the hair shaft and form a thin, smoothing film on skin surfaces. This ingredient belongs to the category of Hydrolyzed Proteins, which brings together plant and animal derived proteins widely used across shampoos, conditioners, masks, serums, and creams.

The 10 ml size is well suited for home-scale cosmetic formulation and initial trial batches, allowing formulators to test concentration levels before scaling a recipe up. Global demand for silk hydrolysates is driven primarily by the professional hair care sector, where the protein is incorporated into repair serums, heat protection sprays, and leave-in fluids thanks to its ability to reduce moisture loss and improve strand elasticity. A second significant application area is facial skin care, where the hydrolysate functions as a smoothing and hydrating agent in serums, emulsions, and anti-fatigue creams.

Recommended dosage ranges from one to five percent of total formula weight. The ingredient should be added during the final stage of production, in the cold phase, at temperatures not exceeding forty degrees Celsius, to prevent breakdown of the protein chains. Liquid Silk pairs well with other protein-based actives: it is often combined with Marine Collagen Hydrolysate 25 ml to enhance skin firmness, and with Hydrolyzed Keratin 25% 5 ml for comprehensive hair structure repair. In anti-aging formulations, silk protein is frequently paired with botanical actives such as Wheat Plant DNA Concentrate 50 ml, delivering complementary action across different layers of skin and hair.

Beyond cosmetics, silk hydrolysates are also used in the textile industry for fabric finishing treatments and appear as auxiliary film-forming components in certain pharmaceutical formulations. In household chemistry, the protein is sometimes added to fabric softeners for its conditioning effect, with soap making being only one minor example among many possible applications. Store the product in a tightly sealed container, in a cool dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources, avoiding repeated freeze-thaw cycles that could degrade the protein structure.

Lightweight Leave-In Repair Fluid

Distilled water 55 ml

Liquid Silk 3 ml

Panthenol 2 ml

Jojoba oil 3 ml

Mild emulsifier 5 ml

Preservative 1 ml

Warm the water to about thirty five degrees Celsius, then blend in the emulsifier and jojoba oil until the mixture becomes uniform. Allow it to cool to room temperature before adding panthenol, Liquid Silk, and the preservative. Stir gently until fully combined and transfer the finished fluid into a spray bottle for application on damp hair before styling.
