Silk is made of two different types of proteins: fibroin and sericin. Fibroin is the filaments of silk itself and makes up to 80% of the silk by weight, while sericin is the "glue" that binds the filaments together and makes up the remaining 20%.
All proteins are made up of amino acids. Silk has 18 of the 20 amino acids that are found in the human body. 80% is made up of three: alanine, glycine and serine.
The silk fibroin - which gives silk its strength - mimics the body's "natural moisturising factor" (NMF), which improves hydration and reduces "trans-epidermal water loss" (TEWL). Together, this protects the skin from the effects of pollution and scoops up free radicals thanks to antioxidant properties.
The sericin has a number of hydrating and remedial properties, which can help wound-healing and even anti-ageing.
Alanine is found mostly in fibroin and is a conditioning and hydrating agent that helps reduce TEWL thanks to the fact that it is small enough to penetrate the skin barrier.
Glycine is also found in fibroin and is known to improve signs of ageing by increasing water retention and stimulating the production of collagen.
Serine is found in sericin and has significant moisturising benefits, which is why it is often found in hair care products in addition to skincare.In conclusion, silk not only has great benefits, but its retaining properties let the other active ingredients do a great job too!
Seresilk is proudly founded and wholly-operated and owned in Melbourne, Australia.
Our skincare is manufactured locally. Only our silk exfoliator is sourced internationally; from a cruelty-free supplier in Veneto, Italy.
Our practice of processing silk is “ahimsa”; a nonviolent, cruelty-free method of harvesting products for our formulations.
Our exfoliators however do not constitute “ahimsa”, as the cocoon is cut open and the silkworm is relocated to continue its development into a moth. No silkworms are killed in this process and our suppliers meet cruelty-free requirements.
All of our products use eco-friendly packaging and are sustainably sourced. Developing and growing the ethical silk industry in Australia is a part of our company mission.
