MC SILK AminoAcids®️
Silk-powered proteins to protect & reveal hair & skin’s natural beauty.
Produced using advanced fermentation technology, MC SILK AMINOACIDS® is a recombinant spider silk that is molecularly identical to natural spider silk. It is 100% vegan, free from animal-derived components, and developed for high sustainability and industrial scalability.
The material consists of repetitive amino acid sequences (primarily glycine, alanine, and serine) forming a precise balance of crystalline beta-sheet structures and amorphous regions. This molecular architecture delivers outstanding tensile strength, elasticity, and film-forming properties.

Mechanism of Action
Ampullate Spidroin 1 (MaSp1) is a fibrous protein found in the dragline silk of spiders, produced in the major ampullate gland. It is composed of repetitive sequences of amino acids, primarily glycine, alanine, and serine, which form a combination of crystalline beta-sheet regions and amorphous segments. This unique molecular structure provides MaSp1 with exceptional tensile strength and flexibility, making it the main structural protein responsible for the spider silk’s remarkable durability and resilience.
MC SILK AminoAcids® amino acid fraction biomimics the protein architecture of Euprosthenops australis silk, supporting hair strength, resilience, and surface smoothness.
