【Introduction】
Silk powder is a powdered product milled from high-purity Silk Fibroin obtained after silk degumming.
【Chemical Properties】
1、There are hydrophilic groups in the structure of silk powder,that are an excellent natural moisturizing factor. A very thin layer of silk powder is attached to the surface of the skin, and it can absorb or release water according to the changes in the temperature and humidity of the skin.This has a certain preventive and therapeutic effect on skin health and various skin diseases caused by dampness or dryness.
2、The crystalline structure of silk powder can reflect part of ultraviolet ray, while the cavities formed by its spiral structure can absorb part of infrared ray, so combining silk powder with sunscreen agents in sunscreen products can enhance the sun protection effect.
3、Silk powder has a unique ability to retain oil, similar to but superior to white clay, making it suitable for cosmetics designed for oily skin.
4、Silk powder helps reduce reflected light due to its structure. When used in mica-based cosmetics, it reduces reflected light and allows for a natural, realistic, and soft color to emerge.
5、Compared with talcum powder and titanium dioxide, silk powder has excellent breathability, therefore cosmetics containing silk leave the skin feeling exceptionally smooth and refreshing after using.
6、Silk powder also has some anti-allergic properties. Some users have reflected that cosmetics containing silk has a certain role in the prevention and treatment on wool allergies.
【Advantages】
