Silk Crystal is a new functional biomaterial made by applying FineCo's advanced technology to the silk fibroin protein, which has a high
moisturizing capability while keeping the unique many mysterious properties of silk protein.
In the case of the silk amino acid and peptide that are being used in hair care and skin care goods they are made by decomposing silk protein with acid, alkali or enzyme, so
they do not keep the original properties of silk any more.
The structure of Silk Crystal is composed of many micro pores, whichbind water molecules as much as 50 times of its weight, and can absorb both
water and oil without using any emulsifier, so it provides a good water-oil ( Hydrophilic -lipophilic) balance to the skin.
