Silk Peptides (Full-Spectrum) are a premium cosmetic ingredient obtained through the controlled hydrolysis of Bombyx mori silk fibers, delivering a rich profile of bioactive peptides from both silk fibroin and silk sericin. This dual-protein composition provides broad-spectrum benefits for skin and hair, combining the structural strength of fibroin with the film-forming and moisture-retaining properties of sericin.
These low molecular weight peptides penetrate deeply to nourish, hydrate, and protect, while forming a lightweight, breathable film that enhances elasticity and barrier function. Ideal for luxury skincare and haircare formulations, Silk Peptides improve smoothness, increase resilience, and support long-lasting moisture—making them a favorite for anti-aging, conditioning, and reparative applications.
