Silk Powder is produced from high quality silk using sophisticated technology in order to retain its chemical properties, and is made up of 100% fibroin, which contains 18 kinds of amino acids and trace elements essential to the human body. Silk Powder serves as an ideal protein enricher for high quality cosmetics. It is in the form of a yellow powder of 200 mesh diameter that can be applied to a wide range of cosmetics. Users can expect it to help maintain moisture levels in the skin and prevent dryness. The crystalline structure is presumed to reflect light and in hair care products, it is believed to improve luminance and elastic behavior. Recommended usage rate is between 2-5% by weight.
INCI: Powder Silk
Silk Additives – Which one is the right one?
Silk Powder, Silk Peptide, Silk Amino Acids; which one is best for your formulation? All of them contain 18 different amino acids, all come from the cocoon of the silk worm, and all have a chemical composition that is very close to that of human skin and hair making them a wonderful source of nourishment and maintenance.
The real difference is the size of the particles, which impacts water solubility and how deeply each one can penetrate the hair and skin. The more deeply it penetrates, the greater the therapeutic qualities but you’ll lose some of the much coveted look and feel it provides on the surface.
Silk Powder has the largest grain size and can remain on the top of the skin to give it a smooth feel and appearance by entrapping oil and minimizing the visibility of pores without clogging them. The natural glossy property of silk is what imparts the glowing appearance to skin. Powder is best suited for natural make ups and body polishes to give a radiant glow. This Silk Powder is soluble in water.
Application: Silk Powder can be used in a wide variety of products such as shampoo, conditioner, hair treatment, body wash, body lotion, cleaner, toner, makeup foundation, lipstick, mascara, color cosmetics.

Rating: Love this product. Added it straight to my conditioner as an experiment. It helped detangled my hair after shampooing and made it feel so soft. I am now adding a small amount to my new face cream to add smoothness without clogging the pores!
Thanks New Directions - you are a blessing to my business!
Rating: I use this in my shampoo for a really nice silky touch.

Rating: I've noticed that a number of people use silk in their CP soaps, so I thought I would give this a try. I did some tester batches, and the one using the silk came out much harder than without! I found that kind of interesting. I use about 1/4 tsp. in a 2lb batch, and add it to my lye water while it's cooling. I'm really glad I found this stuff!

Rating: Adds softness(etc) to creams... anything you can think of adding it to. Careful usage is essential with this product, small amounts best. As the old quote goes a little of something is good, too much not so good.

Rating: It gives a nice touch to my face cream. But there's some black grain in the powder that don't melt like the rest.
