When do I use Hydrolyzed Protein Plus vs. Hydrolyzed Proteins?
Natural lipids from palm oil combine with natural (SILK derived) silk protein, and unlike SilkPro Plus this is not given a cationic charge.
Silk, long a treasured and expensive material, has been called the “princess of fibers”. Discovered in China in 2700 B.C., silk was literally worth its weight in gold. The paths used to transport this valuable material from China and made famous by Italian traveler Marco Polo, became known as the “silk trails”. The term “smooth as silk” connotes beauty and a pleasant smoothness.
The exceptional purity of Silk Protein is shown by the clarity of its film and low ash content. Silk Protein is useful in elegant hair and skin preparations for its excellent moisture binding properties and feel. In addition, this non-animal protein source is substantive to skin and hair and provides a protective barrier.
Silk Protein will add luster, body, and manageability to hair when used in hair care preparations. As an amphoteric protein, it is compatible with cationic, anionic, and non-ionic materials. Silk as an ingredient in your formulation, will evoke pleasant thoughts at point of purchase for your customers.
What are the benefits of Hydrolyzed Silk Protein?
HAIR CARE-Aids in moisture retention due to its strong hygroscopic properties (silk is credited with the ability to retain 10,000 times its weight in water), resulting in optimum conditioning and increased strength. Provides superior conditioning properties, making it ideal for natural-type conditioners, shampoos, and hair repairing systems. Links hair fibers to improve elasticity, resiliancy, and restore the moisture balance.
SKIN CARE- Aids in moisture retention due to its strong hygroscopic properties (silk is credited with the ability to retain 10,000 times its weight in water), resulting in optimum conditioning and increased strength. Provides superior conditioning properties, making it ideal for natural-type skin care such as gels, serums, and emulsion systems. Links skin fibers to improve elasticity, resiliancy, and restore the moisture balance.
