COMMENTS: I used this product at 1% in my body creams and the difference in feel is incredible. I will always include the Silk Amino Acids in my formula from now on. Super SILKY soft feel, even after I didn't think I could make my creams any better, this tops my formula off! People stated their concerns regarding the "sauce" smell to this, but I find that it isn't detectable even in my unscented products.

COMMENTS: I had heard so many things about adding silk amino acids to your soap but had never tried it for myself. My only regret is that I hadn't tried it much sooner, it is AMAZING. It adds a subtle difference to your soap, but oh the difference is oh so amazing. I will never go back to making soap without silk.

COMMENTS: I love this product. It has made my handmade soaps and lotions a superior product. I use this in everything. A little goes a very long way. I'll be back for more. Thanks WSP :)
COMMENTS: This is one of my secret weapons! I use this as an added bonus to my products. It is a bit pricey, but a little goes a long way. It's great in scrubs, shaving creams, bath washes, just and all around great thing to use when your trying to make products that stand out and are top quality.
COMMENTS: I have always used silk amino acids in my lotion, cremes, and body butters, to impart a silky feel. I don't think my products would be nearly as nice without this addition. I add a few drops to these products in addition to whatever amount is in the base already. I also add silk amino acids to my peach soap and this makes a wonderfully soothing bar, a customer favorite.
COMMENTS: Ok, first of all i have to say this. I add 1tsp to my shampoo & 1 tsp to my conditioner, which i get from WSP. It made my hair soft and silky feeling & guess what? My hair started growing out fast! All i can say is that it works! WSP ROCKS!
