Inositol

Humectant at 0.5–2%; gentle moisturizing, suitable for sensitive skin

Sericin

Animal-derived silk protein, used for anti-static and hair/skin conditioning; provides smoothness and repair.

Hydrolyzed Silk

Hydrolyzed silk; amino acid-rich humectant for skin and hair; potential protein allergens for sensitive skin

Hydrolyzed Conchiolin Protein

Hydrolyzed pearl protein for hydration/repair; animal-derived; low MW aids penetration, low sensitization
