\"SilkI interviewed Lanna Potter, creator and owner of SilkSwan.com. She has developed natural beauty products made with silk proteins and essential oils (EOs) for individuals with sensitive skin, chemical sensitivities, and those who simply want beauty products with more natural ingredients. She brought along a variety of her products for me to sample while we discussed the benefits of natural beauty products, silk proteins, and how\/why she created SilkSwan.com. For more on skin care in a natural way, Natural Tone Organic Skincare<\/a> is committed to the environment and only use safe and organic ingredients.<\/p>\n

But, the beauty benefit of silk has been known for centuries in Asia and Asian women are very into natural skin care. Silk protein is used a lot in skin care and hair care for their beauty benefits.

Because the molecules are tiny, they penetrate your skin and go under the surface creating a barrier to help prevent water loss. Silk protein has excellent moisturizing abilities that draw in 10,000 times its own weight in moisture from the air to keep your skin nice and soft.
