Hydrolyzed Fibroin

1. Definition Hydrolyzed Fibroin:

Hydrolyzed Fibroin is a silk protein that has been broken down into smaller molecules through a process called hydrolysis. This process makes the protein more easily absorbed by the skin, allowing for better penetration and effectiveness in cosmetic products.

2. Use:

Hydrolyzed Fibroin is commonly used in skincare and haircare products for its moisturizing and conditioning properties. It helps to improve the skin's elasticity, smoothness, and overall appearance. In haircare products, it can help to strengthen and repair damaged hair, leaving it soft and shiny.

3. Usage Hydrolyzed Fibroin:

When using products containing Hydrolyzed Fibroin, it is important to follow the instructions provided on the packaging. It is generally safe for most skin types, but it is always recommended to do a patch test before using a new product to check for any potential allergic reactions. As with any new ingredient, it is best to start with a small amount and gradually increase the frequency of use to determine how your skin or hair responds.
