HYDROLYZED SILK PG-PROPYL METHYLSILANEDIOL

Description

Hydrolyzed Silk PG-Propyl Methylsilanediol is an innovative ingredient that combines the benefits of silk proteins with silicone technology. This hybrid compound is designed to enhance both skincare and haircare formulations, offering a unique combination of moisturizing and protective properties.

The hydrolyzed silk component consists of small peptides derived from silk proteins, which are known for their ability to penetrate the skin and hair cuticle. These peptides provide hydration, improve elasticity, and promote a smooth texture. The PG-Propyl Methylsilanediol portion is a modified silicone that forms a lightweight, breathable film on the skin and hair surface.

This ingredient excels in its ability to impart a silky-smooth feel without the heavy residue often associated with traditional silicones. It helps to reduce frizz in hair products and improves the spreadability of skincare formulations. Hydrolyzed Silk PG-Propyl Methylsilanediol also acts as a conditioning agent, enhancing the overall appearance and texture of both skin and hair.

In skincare, it can help to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while in haircare, it aids in detangling and adds shine. This versatile ingredient is suitable for a wide range of products, including serums, moisturizers, hair masks, and styling products.
