Sericin is a natural protein found in silk cocoons that forms a protective film over the skin which reflects UV radiation, stimulates collagen synthesis, and inhibits cell death. By donating an electron to neutralize free radicals, it can also limit oxidative stress and slow cell breakdown.
Seribelle extracts sericin from broken cocoons that are loosely-spun, abnormally-shaped, or broken through by moths. The discarded cocoons are ethically sourced from Thai farmers which gives them an additional source of income.
Seribelle’s fair-trade business model and financing program offers free starter sets to our female affiliates and allows them to repay the cost after selling the products whilst keeping the profits.
