Promois™ EFLS-C is an acylated derivative of hydrolyzed silk amino acid, with low molecular mass. It has detergent and great foaming properties and can wash the skin and the hair while providing repairs. 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. The amino acids of sericin have many 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.
