ISOSTEAROYL HYDROLYZED SILK.

Isostearoyl Hydrolyzed Silk is created by breaking down natural silk proteins into smaller, highly bioavailable peptides and amino acids like glycine, alanine, and serine. These amino acids penetrate the skin's outer layers, acting as vital building blocks that support the synthesis of collagen and elastin, key proteins for skin firmness and flexibility. It functions as a potent humectant, drawing and retaining moisture to plump skin cells and diminish the visibility of fine lines. Furthermore, its film-forming capabilities establish a protective barrier, reducing transepidermal water loss and offering defense against environmental aggressors. The ingredient also contributes to a fortified skin barrier, reducing redness and inflammation, and may offer antioxidant benefits by neutralizing free radicals, all while potentially improving the absorption of other active ingredients.
