Deepening the range of skin feel enhancers, Lanxess now offers 100% natural silk extracts. Their Keratin structure, similar to that of human tissue, results in excellent repair and protection properties when used in hair and skin care products.

For ease of application, the 100% natural silk extracts are available in two grades.Purolan Silk Peptide, featuring low molecular weight of 2.000 – 3.000 DA, offers good water solubility. For this reason, it can easily be incorporated into low viscosity formulations like body lotions and conditioners. Purolan® Sericin has an average molecular weight of 10.000 DA and gives a very rich and caring skin feel. This makes Purolan Sericin an excellent ingredient for powders and color cosmetics.

Lanxess is a global chemical company with a broad portfolio and has served the Personal Care market for decades. Lanxess is based in Leverkusen, Germany, with its US headquarters in Pittsburgh, PA.
