Sericin
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Sericin is a biocompatible silk protein derived from Bombyx mori, functioning as a natural glue that binds silk fibers. In Cosmetic Grade applications, it is valued for its superior film-forming ability and its capacity to prevent trans-epidermal water loss.
The material contains high concentrations of hydroxy amino acids, which allow it to bond with keratin to provide a protective, silky coating. This Technical Grade protein is used to improve the structural integrity of hair and skin, offering significant moisturizing benefits.
Its antioxidant and UV-shielding properties make it a premium choice for environmental protection skincare and advanced textile finishing. As a sustainable byproduct of silk production, it meets the demand for eco-friendly and high-performance industrial raw materials.
