Ingredient Watch: Silk
March 13, 2009
Silk has been used for skin and body care for thousands of years. In ancient Chinese medicine, silk is said to have been used by health practitioners to care for and dress wounds. In Ayurvedia medicine, silk was used in massage techniques to deeply stimulate the muscle tissues.
As a natural cosmetic ingredient silk powder has the abilities to radiate and reflect UV rays, help with moisture balance, absorb excess skin oils, protect with anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, and strengthen with its many amino acids like glycine and serine that are building blocks for skin protien and essential for natural moisturization. Silk Powder is also gentle enough for sensitive-prone skin.
