Born from
natural silk.
Using just salt, water and a carbon-conscious supply chain, we bioharvest brand-new molecules from cruelty-free silk cocoons and liquefy them to create our patented Activated Silk™ peptides.
Meet the Drs.
Founded by Dr. Greg Altman and Dr. Rebecca Lacouture, we are pioneers in peptide discovery, backed by nearly 25 years of PhD-level scientific and engineering expertise that led to the development of our Activated Silk™ peptide library. Evolved By Nature is a commercial life sciences company raising the performance and sustainability of global industries in the personal care and personal goods sectors – improving human and planetary health. We just happened to find an ingredient that works wonders on hair. We’re excited to put our ingredients to work for you.
We’ll handle the science and leave the magic to you.
Hydrogel P1 is a proteoglycan: A unique molecule that combines a silk-peptide backbone with carbohydrate bristle side chains. The silk backbone enables our ingredient to bind to oil and keratin, while the carbohydrate side chains absorb, retain, and deliver up to three times their weight in water.
