LAUROYL SILK AMINO ACIDS.

As an acylated derivative of hydrolyzed silk protein, Lauroyl Silk Amino Acids possess a small particle size, enabling effective penetration into the dermal layers. It acts as a highly hygroscopic humectant, actively drawing and binding moisture to the skin, thereby establishing a robust moisture-binding barrier. Furthermore, it interlaces with the skin's inherent proteins, such as keratin, to maintain optimal hydration and form a protective surface. The amino acid components, particularly the sericin, contribute to these moisturizing effects through their abundant hydroxyl groups. This action supports improved skin elasticity and can contribute to a reduction in the visible appearance of fine lines by supporting the underlying collagen structure and significantly boosting moisture retention.
