When it comes to creating a unique sensory experience and gentle skin care, silk protein stands out as an essential ingredient. Known for its moisturizing and softening properties, it is widely used in premium soap formulations. In this article, discover the benefits of silk protein and why it holds a special place in Homnès soaps.

What is Silk Protein?

Silk protein is derived from the natural fibers produced by the silkworm. It is composed of fibroin and sericin, two proteins that confer unique properties. In cosmetics, silk protein is hydrolyzed to allow for better absorption by the skin. This transformation captures its beneficial essence while facilitating its integration into exceptional formulations.

The Benefits of Silk Protein in Soaps

1. Intense Hydration
   Silk protein acts as a natural moisturizing agent. It contains essential amino acids, such as glycine and alanine, which penetrate the skin to promote water retention. By forming a protective barrier, it effectively prevents skin dryness while maintaining the moisture balance of the epidermis. This action is particularly beneficial for sensitive or dehydrated skin.

2. Exceptional softness
   The amino acids contained in silk protein, such as glycine, serine, and alanine, interact directly with keratinocytes, strengthening their cohesion and improving the skin's ability to retain water. This interaction promotes a smooth and silky texture, providing a remarkable softening effect after each use. This effect makes soaps enriched with silk protein ideal for a luxurious daily experience.

3. Protective Properties
   Silk protein forms a biomimetic protective film that adheres to the surface of the skin, reducing transepidermal water loss. This film, composed of amino acids such as glycine and sericin, interacts with the lipids of the skin barrier to strengthen its natural structure. It also acts as a shield against external aggressions, neutralizing free radicals and limiting damage caused by environmental factors such as pollution or climate variations. This barrier helps to reduce redness and irritation.

4. Unique Sensory Aspect
   Silk protein-based soaps offer a light and creamy lather, thanks to their ability to reduce the surface tension of water. This property promotes the formation of fine and homogeneous bubbles, creating a rich texture that turns each wash into a true wellness ritual.
