Activated Silk™ is a biodegradable, high-performance molecule bioharvested from natural silk protein with renewable energy. These molecules are developed using their proprietary NoviCulture process, which only uses salt, water, and a carbon-conscious supply chain. These molecules have the ability to protect and enhance the barrier function of almost every surface. Evolved By Nature currently uses this technology to develop sustainable chemicals for leather and textiles, natural ingredients for personal care, and biomolecules for regernative and aesthetic medicine. Activated Silk™ L1 is a sustainable and superior alternative to harmful PU and petrochemicals in leather finishing. It is 75% bio-based after removing solvents, contains zero PFAS, reduces PU, and does not require cross-linkers. These molecules can also be used to manufacture 100% naturally derived, bio-based, and biodegradable performance finishing agents for nylon and polyester. Their natural ingredients, 33B and 27P, can be used for skincare. 33B is a barrier-supporting cosmetic ingredient that rivals the performance of petrolatum, which relies on fossil fuels. 27P is a collagen-supporting skincare ingredient with increased stability and decreased irritation. These molecules can also make natural ingredients to develop biosurfactants for petrochemical-free soaps. Evolved By Nature also supplies Activated Silk™ polypeptide solutions to companies pursuing medical aesthetics. They can be used for dermatology applications, urogynecology, therapeutics, and more. Activated Silk™ has the ability to replace 1,056,000 metric tons of SLS/SLES, 560,000 metric tons of acrylic acid in personal care, and 1,000 metric tons of polyethylene in fashion. Evolved By Nature is also researching further applications in food science, agriculture, and architectural coating industries.
