Where does it come from?
Sericin is obtained from silk cocoons produced by silkworms. During the silk manufacturing process, sericin is separated from fibroin, the primary protein in silk fibers, through a process called degumming. This process allows sericin to be extracted and purified for use in various skincare formulations.
