Silky Skin from Thai Silk Cocoons
Have you ever wondered why Southeast Asian women have silky soft smooth skin?
One of the secrets for this is that they use cosmetics containing silk cocoons. This is the very same silk from the silkworm that spins and wraps itself into a cocoon during its hibernating period. This silk cocoon is the one responsible for creating the Thai silk threads and fibers.
How can you make cosmetics from silk cocoons?
Silk powder is made from the silkworm cocoon. It is processed to remove impurities and pulverized into different grades. Silk of the finest micron can be dissolved in water while silk that is of a larger micron is not dispersible in water. Both types can be used in soap making. Silk that is of a lower micron is added with oils and silk that is finer in grade that is dispersible in water is added with the liquids.
So what is so special about cosmetics that use silk cocoons?
Silkworm cocoons contain a naturally woven silk protein called sericin. Sericin helps balance the skin’s amino acid content, and stimulates the skin. Silk amino acids can also help prevent dehydration of the skin. In addition, silkworm cocoons contain elastin-collagen, which can be absorbed directly by the human skin for repairing damaged skin, eliminating blackheads, dirt and aged dry skin, promoting a more supple skin.
There has been research showing silk proteins that may have topical antioxidant properties. Further studies have also found that silk cocoon powder radiates and reflects UV rays, acting as a natural sunscreen. For people that are acne prone, silk cocoon contains anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
Silkworm cocoon’s super fine powder is used in makeup formulations to soften fine lines, provide moisture balance, absorb excess oil and provide a silky slip. Using makeup made with silk cocoons will also allow your skin to breathe.
So what is one silk cocoon product would I recommend?
You can find many silk cocoon products on the web; in particular from Japan which after some investigation we found to be very expensive compared to products made in Thailand. After much more investigation we sourced silk cocoons that are produced in the North East of Thailand famous for its silk production. We now stock these cocoons in our shop in Bangkok & our on line store. Our Silk Cocoon Facial Scrub contains about 18 types of these amino acids needed by the skin. These amino acids are antioxidants with substances that kill certain types of microorganisms of skin diseases. Our Silk Cocoon Facial scrub also improves skin flexibility and quickens the healing process of the skin. In addition, our Silk Cocoon Facial scrub helps heal chapped skin, reduce skin wrinkling and help prevent skin damage from everyday life. It has also been found that silk cocoons have a moisturizing effect on the skin leaving you looking young & pimple free.
