1 of 92 products in this brand
Promois™ SILK-1000Q is a cationized derivative of hydrolyzed silk protein. Thanks to its cationic character, it can adsorb to the damaged part of the hair, repair very effectively and improve texture. It also has anti-static properties. Silk protein is formed of two proteins: fibroin and sericin. Fibroin has a unique amino acid composition. It is rich in glycine, alanine and serine which have small molecular weight and simple chemical structure. This composition is known to form a sheet structure to which is associated the comfortable touch of silk. Many of the amino acids of sericin have hydroxyl groups which provides uncomparable moisturizing effect. Promois™ series is a range of peptides and derivatives obtained through hydrolysis of natural proteins. It is developed and manufactured in Japan by SEIWA KASEI.

Product Background

Silk is a fiber made of two proteins, mainly fibroin but also sericin. Fibroin has a unique amino acid composition. Glycine, alanine and serine which have small molecular weights and simple chemical structures account for 90%. These amino acids are known to be arranged in β-sheets which greatly contributes to silk well-known shiny appearance and smoothness.
