SQ 130 is a high-performance natural polymer material derived from silk protein hydrolysate, composed of 18 essential amino acids. Approximately 85% of its content consists of glycine, alanine, serine, and tyrosine, which are vital for skin and hair health. With a stable molecular weight distribution of 500-2000D, SQ 130 is easily absorbed by the skin and hair, providing deep nourishment, hydration, and repair. This ingredient is widely used in skincare and haircare formulations due to its exceptional moisturizing, conditioning, and revitalizing properties.

Key Features & Benefits

1. Skin Care Benefits

Enhances Skin Elasticity & Hydration: SQ 130 stimulates collagen production, improving skin firmness and reducing the appearance of fine lines.

Brightening Effect: Rich in amino acids, it helps promote a more even skin tone and radiant complexion.

2. Hair Care Benefits

Repairs Damaged Hair: Replenishes lost proteins and lipids, restoring hair strength and elasticity.

Improves Shine & Manageability: Enhances the cuticle’s smoothness, reducing frizz and improving combability.

Protects Against Surfactant Irritation: Clinical studies confirm that hydrolyzed silk reduces the irritation caused by harsh surfactants (e.g., K12), making it ideal for shampoos and cleansers.

3. Formulation Advantages

Excellent Compatibility: Works well with anionic and amphoteric surfactants, making it suitable for transparent formulations.

Stable Water Solubility: Ensures even distribution in rinse-off and leave-on products.

Gentle & Non-Irritating: Ideal for sensitive skin and scalp applications.
