Our Molecule Platform
Activated SilkTM
Biotechnology.
An Infinite Ability To
Protect + Enhance
Surfaces.

Activated Silk™ biotechnology is a molecular platform derived from bio-based materials such as natural silk protein. It has a nearly limitless ability to protect and enhance the barrier function of almost any surface.
In skincare, we use Activated Silk™ biotechnology to create natural ingredients that can improves skin health and its appearance. Our bioactive ingredients are proven to outperform synthetics in both clinical results and sustainability. Major skincare brands like Ogee have already enhanced their products with our ingredients.
For leather, we launched Activated Silk™ L1 biofinishing—a more sustainable finishing system that outperforms petrochemicals in virtually every aspect, without the use of PFAS or the need for additional cross-linkers. Leather articles finished with L1 are already used by some of the world’s biggest and most exclusive brands.
We’ve only just begun to unlock the potential of Activated Silk™ biotechnology—and the impact it will have on industries around the globe.
