Evolved By Nature Newsletter

The last edition of the newsletter offers our age-old point of view and ways to stay connected.

We create healthier chemistry between people, the things they love, and the planet. We also create this bi-weekly newsletter — curated with interesting and inspiring stories relevant to anyone interested in making our industries and our economies more bioharmonious.

Consumers have a relationship with their clothes, personal care products, and just about everything they buy. This relationship also comes with baggage: the chemicals used to make them. Whether undisclosed or harmful to human health and the planet, petrochemicals and other harmful toxicants must be replaced with naturally sourced, safer alternatives to achieve a truly circular and sustainable economy. If you’ve been following our newsletter, you may have noticed this mission of replacing harmful toxicants industry-wide is central to our business. We’ve shared many stories on what chemicals are harmful (and unregulated), why they’re bad, and what consumers can do to avoid potential harm to human health. And don’t forget their damage to the planet. Sustainability and human health are inextricably linked. Therefore “going green” cannot be just a trend but must be a continual practice of self-awareness to promote health and well-being everywhere. We leave you here with some recent articles to look out for as a sustainable consumer.

  • Vogue: 10 Sustainability Terms You Need to Know for Earth Day and Beyond
  • Time: The Case for Abandoning 'Corporate Responsibility' When We Judge Company Practices
  • Interesting Engineering: A Complete History of Toxic Cosmetics
  • Apartment Therapy: Cleaning Label Glossary: What the Buzzwords Really Mean
  • Better Marketing: The Promise of Green 

It has been a year of telling our sustainability story through social media, this newsletter, and beyond. We’ve been proud to engage in conversation across many communities online by sharing exciting and inspiring stories relevant to anyone interested in making our industries and our economies more bioharmonious. All things must evolve, however. And after a year of increasing our readership through email, we’re thinking up different ways to share our philosophy and practice. Part of this rethinking means we will be discontinuing our bi-weekly newsletter in its current form. This is not the end of sharing our story and thought-provoking articles with our readership, though – if you want to be updated on cool content and savvy sustainability POVs, just follow our social media channels and website below.

We all want to live in a safe, healthy, and sustai We all want to live in a safe, healthy, and sustainable future, right? We’ll, we can’t get there in a linear way.

The Linear Economy works like this:
Take. Make. Waste.

Resources are extracted, turned into products using non-renewable energy, and eventually discarded — creating pollution and toxic buildup that never really goes away.

A better way of doing things is the Circular Economy.

It keeps materials in natural, regenerative cycles where nothing becomes toxic or turned into waste that lasts forever. Through upcycling and biodegradation, resources are kept in a healthy, natural cycle, helping address issues like climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss.

We’re proud to create ingredients designed to fit into this circular model. Because as scientists, we believe it’s our responsibility to care just as deeply about ecological systems as we do about innovating skincare ingredients. 

We’re proving that you don’t have to compromise on performance to meet sustainability standards — or the other way around.

When you combine novel biotechnology with biodegra When you combine novel biotechnology with biodegradable, natural silk, really cool things start to happen.

Silk has remarkable properties that can be unlocked with biotechnology — opening the door to renewable, high-performing ingredients that support the future of skincare.

Through this synergy of nature and science, we’ve developed bioactive peptides that offer something truly unique to the science of skincare.

Rather than simply layering on the skin, these peptides boost the skin’s own ability to produce the proteins that keep it strong and resilient.

It’s the natural approach to scientifically proven skincare.

It’s clear from the name: petrolatum is derived fr It’s clear from the name: petrolatum is derived from petrochemicals.

But did you know that other “must-have” skincare ingredients like certain retinols, ceramides, and alpha-hydroxy acids often rely on petrochemical-derived materials too?

These ingredients can be resource- and energy-intensive to produce, and created by using hazardous, non-renewable solvents, strong acids, reagents, and metals.

At Evolved By Nature, we know that skincare can be effective without having to rely on harmful production processes or materials.

That’s why our peptides are upcycled, biodegradable, and made with renewable resources and renewable energy — while still delivering clinically-proven performance.

We’re creating next-generation ingredients for the next generation of innovative formulators.

The future of sun care will be defined by more tha The future of sun care will be defined by more than just SPF. Repair, defense, and long-term skin health are increasingly valued by users.

What changes the game is science that goes deeper.
Because true skin resilience doesn’t start at the surface.

Research continues to point inward, highlighting two key proteins that the skin already relies on for UV defense: claudin and keratin.

Our peptides work with the body’s own biology, supporting the natural production of claudin and keratin to help defend and restore the skin barrier, both before and after sun exposure.

These peptides deliver multi-dimensional support for UV-challenged skin, not by covering up damage, but by strengthening the skin’s natural defenses from within.

We believe the most powerful barrier is the one the skin builds itself.

We’re just here to give it a hand.

Or a peptide.

Many skincare ingredients are tied to the fossil f Many skincare ingredients are tied to the fossil fuel industry, whether as direct byproducts, like petrolatum, or through the use of petrochemical-derived substances and energy-intensive manufacturing processes, such as those used to produce some retinols and synthetic ceramides.

Most people are unaware of this connection, or feel they must choose between performance and their principles.

But we believe you shouldn’t have to compromise.

That’s why we’re committed to developing only high-performing, NATRUE-approved (100% natural), biodegradable ingredients, made from renewable resources and using renewable energy.
