The benefits of silk

Our skin has 18 amino acids in common with silk. Considering there are only 20 amino acids in the human body, this means we share 90% of our amino acids with those found in Silk.

Silk has been found to benefit the skin whether sitting on top of the skin, or whether it is absorbed through the skin. 

Silk protein can offer the following benefits:

• Alleviates skin inflammation

Fibroin helps to calm inflamed skin by increasing cell metabolism and promoting blood circulation. In turn, the reduction of inflammation can help to promote an even skin tone and keep acne & wrinkles at bay.

• Tighten skin
It is useful for those seeking to change the appearance of aging skin, improving its elasticity and rejuvenating its appearance.

• Reduce the appearance of wrinkles
Fibroin can help in ‘plumping up’ the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Some have touted it as an alternative to Botox in this regard.

• Treat scars
Fibroin increases blood circulation to scar tissue. It is also useful for damaged skin, thus reduces the appearance of scars.

• Alleviate sun damage
Though you may love to spend many a day basking in the sun, doing so without any sun protection can contribute to serious sun damage. It may also cause oxidative stress to your skin over time. Sun damaged skin retains hydration comparatively poorly, often has a hyperpigmented appearance and reduced elasticity. This means that skin looks more mature than it really is. However, antioxidant-containing products, such as silk protein, can help to reverse the oxidative damage caused by free radicals and help to repair/mitigate sun damage.
