Serica refers to the natural silkworm extract obtained from killed silkworms or the wild silk of caterpillars that have voluntarily left their cocoon as butterflies.

Serica is the main component of silk proteins. Serica acts as a moisturizer (increases the water content of the skin), skin care and hair conditioning agent (makes the hair easy to comb, smooth, soft and shiny and gives it volume).
