Silk fiber is an abundant natural source of a protein known as fibroin and has been used nutritionally for hundreds of years as a functional ingredient in pharmaceutical applications. More recently, silk fiber has been gaining popularity in cosmetic and personal care applications due to its fibroin content and valuable contribution towards nourishing the skin and hair. It is also admired for its ability to lend a smooth, silky feel to cosmetic formulations.

Superfine Silk Powder is 100% natural silk protein powder that is useful in any type of cosmetic powder formulations where oil absorption, smooth application and slip are desired. Superfine Silk Powder has a particle size of < 5 microns.

Our Superfine Silk Powder is a pure, silk protein powder that preserves the natural composition and physical structure of cocoon silk. The powder is extremely fine in texture and possesses a very smooth, silky feel. Our Superfine Silk Powder is meticulously processed to preserve the natural amino acid and trace mineral composition and physical structure of cocoon silk. To produce the powder, milled, raw silk fiber undergoes alkaline hydrolysis, dealkylation and is then dried and carefully packaged.

“I've been a FNWL customer for years and the company just gets better and BETTER!”

“I've been a FNWL customer for years and the company just gets better and BETTER! Great customer service, feedback is respected, durable packaging, fast delivery, and high quality, extensive product variety. I'm so glad FNWL exists and pleased that it continues to do well. And I like that it's owned by a family and not a big conglomerate. There are many more companies now than when I first began ordering that provide similar products, but I'm very happy with my sure bet. Everyone whom I've recommended FNWL to has remained repeat customers, too.”
