On store shelves today you can find various cosmetic products containing silk peptides. This natural protein moisturizes the skin and hair and protects them from negative effects. How is this component obtained to create shampoos and creams?
Silk peptides give the hair shine, strengthen and restore it along its entire length. No less effective substances affect the epidermis, giving the skin health. For the enrichment of cosmetics, an aqueous solution of amino acids of natural silk is used, which was obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis. This processing allows you to preserve all the valuable components.
Silk peptides and care
The composition of silk peptides includes eighteen amino acids, their low molecular structure explains the good penetration of natural protein into cells. Therefore, silk peptides in a cream or shampoo quickly fill any irregularities in the structure and give the skin and hair softness.
Silk peptides can be stored for two years, protecting the raw materials from moisture.
Peptides are used to repair damage and restore smoothness to the skin and hair. Natural silk protein also promotes regeneration, improving metabolic processes.
In the face and body cream, silk peptides are used to stimulate microcirculation, restore skin color and smooth wrinkles. After applying creams with natural silk protein, the skin becomes velvety. In shampoo, peptides are needed to retain moisture in the hair.
The difference between silk peptides from collagen, elastin and other proteins is that silk essence does not lose stability when included in the composition of a cosmetic product. And most importantly, it retains its beneficial properties.
Getting silk peptides
You can add silk peptides to creams or shampoo yourself, at home, or use commercial cosmetics. It will be possible to find a valuable component in the composition of products of many brands, including budget ones.
Silk peptides can be found in the form of a yellowish, gray-white or pure white powder. It is made from crushed silkworm cocoon fiber. Drying of raw materials is preceded by its hydrolysis to amino acids or peptides. This approach to the manufacture of the material helps to obtain an easily soluble product. Moreover, silk peptides or silk essence can be added in combination with various surfactants.
The silk peptides in shampoo can be used to treat colored, permed hair. Natural protein gives volume to curls.
