Hydrolyzed Silk

Low risk

FunctionRepair Protein

What it is — Hydrolyzed Silk (INCI: Hydrolyzed Silk) is silk protein (fibroin) broken into smaller fragments for conditioning use. It is derived from silk, so it is not vegan; check with the brand if that matters to you.

What it does — It is commonly used to add softness, smoothness and a subtle surface shine to skin and hair.

Typical use — It appears in conditioners, masks, serums and creams as a supporting conditioning protein.

Who it suits / good to know — Suitable for most skin and hair types. Hydrolyzed proteins work mainly at the surface, improving feel and appearance rather than restructuring.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk in its EWG-style, ingredient-by-ingredient review. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.
