NEOSILK, a novel and safe type 1 collagen sourced from silk cocoons, is available to cosmetic manufacturers. Silk worms produce this protein molecule, which is compatible with human collagen, at the same time as their silk threads. Using innovative technologies, the protein can be easily isolated from the cocoon and further processed. The worm is not harmed in the process.Collagen has been used in countless beauty and care products for many years because it is a key component in human connective tissue. Obtained through an innovative type 1 collagen extraction process, NEOSILK represents a real alternative to conventional collagens and allows cosmetics manufacturers to redefine their technology process.
