Silk Amino Acids are naturally derived proteins obtained from silk fibres. They are included in skincare formulas for their role in supporting skin hydration, helping to maintain a soft, smooth skin surface, and supporting the skin's natural protective barrier.

How Does It Work?

  • Supports Skin Hydration - Silk Amino Acids act as humectants, helping to draw and retain moisture at the skin's surface, leaving skin feeling soft and comfortable after cleansing.
  • Supports the Skin Barrier - Forms a lightweight film on the skin's surface designed to help support the skin's natural protective barrier against everyday environmental exposure.
  • May Help Improve Skin Texture - With consistent use, may help support a smoother, more even skin surface over time.
  • Lightweight and Comfortable - Designed to absorb quickly without residue, making them suitable for use in daily cleansing formulas for all skin types.

Who Is It For?

Silk Amino Acids are well-suited to women with dry, dehydrated, or sensitive skin who want a cleansing ingredient that actively supports moisture retention rather than stripping the skin. They are particularly relevant for women experiencing menopausal skin changes, where reduced sebum production and a more reactive barrier make hydration-supporting cleansing ingredients especially valuable.
