New Product Introduction | Understanding Silk Peptide

When it comes to silk, what is the first thing that comes to your mind?

Silk quilt, silk mask, silk protein artificial skin...

The skin-beautifying effect of silk is well known. It has been recorded in the ancient Chinese medical book "Compendium of ?Materia Medica". The ancients rubbed silk on the face to make the skin moist and fair. Modern research has also confirmed that silk has a strong skin-friendly ability.

With the development of biochemical technology, using silk as raw material, silk peptide, a polypeptide product obtained by hydrolyzing silk fibroin protein, has become a brand-new green nutritional skin care product.

Characteristics of Silk Peptide—Nutrition

The essence of silk peptide is a polypeptide substance with good water solubility. The molecular weight is generally between 500-2000DA. Silk peptide contains 18 kinds of amino acids, including 8 kinds of amino acids necessary for the human body. It is rich in content and complete in efficacy.

Among them, glycine, alanine and serine account for the highest proportion. These active ingredients also have physiological effects such as lowering cholesterol and promoting wound healing.

Characteristics of silk peptide - hydrophilicity

There are many hydrophilic genes on the surface of the molecular structure of silk peptide, which means that silk peptide is a natural humidity-regulating factor and has good moisturizing effect. In order to confirm this conjecture, many scientific research institutions have conducted related experiments.

In test 1, when the temperature is kept at 27°C and the relative humidity is 86%RH, the hygroscopicity is absorbed for 12 hours. The moisture absorption rate of the silk peptide solution with a concentration of 2.5% is equivalent to that of glycerin with a concentration of 48%. This is enough to prove the moisturizing effect of silk peptide.

In the second test, the silk peptide has a fast absorption speed and strong penetrating power. After applying it to the skin for about 10 seconds, it can be detected that the water content of the skin stratum corneum has increased. This proves the way silk peptide penetrates the stratum corneum and combines with skin epithelial cells, and the process of silk peptide being acted on and absorbed by cells.

The efficacy of silk peptide

1. Strong moisturizing, whitening and moisturizing, firming skin

The good hydrophilicity of silk peptide allows it to provide sufficient moisture to the skin and quickly exert its moisturizing effect whether it is used as cosmetics or skin care products. At the same time, silk peptide contains fibrous protein, and its molecular structure is similar to that of collagen fibers in the skin. Promote cell fission and increase in value, participate in and promote cell metabolism, and make the skin shiny, moist, firm and elastic.

In addition, melanin in the skin is formed by the oxidation of tyrosinase, and silk peptide can inhibit the formation of this enzyme, so as to keep the skin fair and delicate.

2.?Anti-acne and anti-inflammatory, improve skin diseases

Silk peptide has a good curative effect on skin wrinkles, dermatitis, itching, and eliminating chloasma.?Silk peptide is non-irritating and speeds up wound healing.?Silk peptide can also prevent the erosion and damage of dust, paint, acid and alkali chemicals to the skin.

The use of silk peptide was tested on 100 male and female test subjects with acne and inflammation.?The results showed that more than 65% of the people's skin was significantly improved, and 20% of the people's local skin was improved.?In addition, for other wound tests, it was found that silk peptide can reduce the size of the wound by 57% in the 5-day test environment, which is enough to prove its therapeutic effect on wound skin diseases.

3.?Hair care and hair care, maintain hair health

Silk peptide is easier to be absorbed by hair, because of its superior absorption and adsorption, it helps silk peptide penetrate into hair faster, the higher the concentration of silk peptide, the greater the absorption of hair.?In addition, for damaged hair, the repairing effect of low molecular weight silk peptide is more obvious.

Long-term use of hair care products containing silk peptide can form a protective film on the surface of the hair to help lock in moisture, prevent moisture from evaporating, reduce damage to the hair caused by exposure, and maintain good luster and elasticity of the hair.

It is precisely because of such outstanding capabilities that silk peptide is widely used in many fields such as beauty makeup, skin care, hair care, food, health care products, and home furnishing, and has been integrated into our lives in an all-round way.

The silk peptide products launched by Chiti can effectively repair damaged skin, improve skin vitality, and promote the absorption of nutrients. It is suitable for all groups with skin problems. It is believed that it will soon lead the trend of natural skin care.
