FSS Silk Amino Acids PF

FSS Silk Amino Acids PF is derived from hydrolyzed silk, making it a powerful ingredient for moisturizing and conditioning. The hydrolyzation process enhances its water solubility and reduces molecular weight, allowing for better penetration into the skin and hair shaft. This unique property helps to lock in moisture, resulting in smooth, polished skin and revitalized hair. With a low molecular weight of approximately 300 Da, FSS Silk Amino Acids PF is suitable for a variety of formulations, including shampoos, conditioners, body lotions, and even color cosmetics.

MADE OF:

The appeal of FSS Silk Amino Acids PF lies in its ability to provide superior moisturization and a smooth finish to both skin and hair. Its hydrolyzed nature allows it to bind water effectively, promoting hydration and softness. Formulators appreciate its versatility, as it can be used in numerous applications, from personal care to makeup products. With its stable properties across different pH levels and temperatures, this ingredient is a go-to choice for enhancing the quality and performance of a wide range of beauty formulations.

Scientifically Proven:

To assess the hydrating efficacy of FSS Silk Amino Acids PF, an in vivo moisturization study was conducted. The study evaluated both the immediate and short-term hydration benefits of the ingredient.

Using a skin hydration probe placed on pre-identified test sites, hydration levels were measured through conductance analysis. This method alternates voltages across the upper layers of the skin to quantify moisture content. Test materials, including a control and a formulation containing 2% AC Silk Amino Acids PF, were applied once, and hydration levels were recorded at four time points over a 24-hour period.

Results showed a significant increase in skin moisturization—up to +55% after 24 hours—compared to the base lotion.
