By hydrolyzing silk fibers (subjecting the material to alkali),
water soluble silk proteins are produced.
While silk fibers can not be absorbed into the skin or hair,
the proteins are readily available.
Silk proteins are excellent hair and skin conditioners.
They add a lovely, silky feel to soaps, lotions and gels.
Typical use rates are .5% to 2.0%. Add to the water phase.
