Silk
Silk fibroin and sericin reduce skin irritation, lower wound size, increase collagen formation, and speed up skin wound healing. This gentle ingredient suits most skin types and comes in easy-to-use serums. It fits smoothly into a daily skincare routine because it layers easily with other products.
