Silk Amino Acids

실크아미노산

Goodpeptide

Amino acids derived from silk that can help condition and moisturize the skin.

What does Silk Amino Acids do for skin?

Silk Amino Acids, derived from hydrolyzed silk protein, primarily function on the skin's surface due to their molecular size. They act as humectants, attracting and binding water from the atmosphere to the stratum corneum, thereby increasing skin hydration. Additionally, they form a light, breathable film on the skin, which helps reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and contributes to a smoother skin feel and improved barrier function.

Typical concentration: 0.1-5% (most formulas typically use 0.5-2%)
