I know silk is such a great ingredient to use in shampoos, conditioners, soaps and all for the great qualitites it brings to the products. But, do your vegetarian/vegan customers ever steer away from products that contain silk?
Some view wearing silk just as wearing fur coats.
If you don't mind sharing, what is your experience with products containing silk and vegetarian/vegan customers?

Are there any alternative ingredients that would work just like silk in cosmetics? Maybe hydrolized plant proteins?www.vegsource.com said:In order to retain a single, unbroken filament, the silkworm is killed before it can emerge from the cocoon and break the thread. Slaughtering silkworms for their silk is done by boiling, baking, or steaming the live worm directly in its cocoon.
