Other name: Sericin
Silk amino acid (SAAs), also known as Sericin, is a naturally occurring water-soluble glycoprotein extracted from raw silk. Renowned for its high serine content, it serves as a valuable additive in skin and hair care products, offering exceptional moisture preservation properties. Utilized as a water-based supplement, it forms a protective barrier and imparts a silky texture to lotions, soaps, personal lubricants, as well as hair and skincare items. Produced through the hydrolysis of silk proteins, resulting in smaller peptide chains typically 18 to 19 amino acids long, silk amino acids have a lower molecular weight compared to silk protein powders, providing moisturizing benefits to both skin and hair.
