ALL THE INGREDIENTS
OF AN EVOLUTIONfrom all-natural
silk protein.
If you can make it, wear it or use it, we’re working to create better chemistry for it. And it all starts with bioharmonious Activated Silk™ technology. From natural silk protein, we’ve unlocked a comprehensive green chemistry platform with benefits for nearly every industry. One that’s in sync with people, the planet and your manufacturing process.*
*That’s what we mean when we say bioharmonious.
Leather
Enhanced vibrancy.
Improved color fixation.
Custom finishing effects.
All-natural Activated Silk delivers an array of high-performance benefits to a variety of leather types, garments and accessories. All while reducing the use of synthetic chemicals, dyes and plastics. And right on the horizon: CircleMade™, a high-performance recycled leather composite option.
VIBRANT COLORS
Boosts color saturation and richness across a broad spectrum of hues and leather types.
CUSTOM FINISHING EFFECTS
Enables an array of optical effects, designs and finishes without adding polyurethanes, acrylic resins or perfluorinated chemicals.
REDUCED DYE USAGE
Improves color fixation for better quality control, reduced wastage and less dye making its way off your clothes and into the environment.
Wool + Cashmere
Nature’s finest materials deserve
nature’s finest treatment.
Bioharmonious Activated Silk creates natural garments that look and feel better, are easier to care for and stay in your closet (read: out of the landfill) for longer. We’re also pioneering a high-performance yarn made from regenerated fibers and Activated Silk— it’s called CircleMade™, and it’s coming soon.
ANTI-PILLING
Reduces friction, torquing and pilling for better looking, longer lasting garments.
ANTI-SHRINKING
Minimizes shrinking by coating and protecting yarn’s fibers.
WASH DURABILITY
Tested and proven to last through a minimum of 50 washes.
Nylon
Faster drying.
Enhanced wicking.
Better temperature control.
From sweat-wicking sports bras to skin-cooling cycling tights, all-natural Activated Silk delivers unparalleled functional and tactile benefits to next-to-skin garments (where bioharmony matters most).
HEAT+MOISTURE CONTROL
Increases absorbency (up to 50%), vertical wicking (up to 7x) and dry rate (up to 40%) over synthetic chemical alternatives.
ODOR RELEASE
Boosts odor absorption by up to 76%, so garments feel and smell fresher for longer.
SMOOTHNESS
Naturally maintains garment’s smooth texture and colorfastness.
WASH DURABILITY
Proven to last through a minimum of 50 washes (above industry standard).
Skincare
Clean ingredients,
clinically proven results.
Activated Silk teams with your skin’s collagen to fight signs of aging while delivering other active ingredients deep into the skin. All while replacing the harsh chemicals hiding in everything from eye creams to exfoliators. Use Activated Silk as a premium ingredient in your formulas — or have us make your products for you.
ACTIVE INGREDIENT
Partners with skin’s collagen to fight fine lines, loss of firmness and other signs of aging.
DELIVERY SYSTEM
Delivers essential ingredients deeper into the skin through an active release system.
SURFACTANT
Has natural cleansing properties that perform as well or better than synthetic versions.
FORMULA STABILIZER
Keeps ingredients stable longer, so you can swap harsh preservatives for natural alternatives.
CLEAN
Free from allergens, phthalates, sulfates, parabens and all that scary stuff — safe for even sensitive skin.
NEVER ANIMAL TESTED
Pretty straightforward but pretty important — we do no animal testing.
Haircare
A healthy love for locks.
With silk’s unique affinity for bonding with hair, it nourishes naturally by coating hair, smoothing texture, enhancing curl and protecting hair from the elements. Formulations for leave-in conditioners and shampoos are in the works, with great potential in hair styling, texturizing and coloring innovations, too.
SMOOTHING
Nourishes hair by smoothing hair fibers and sealing cuticles.
BIOSURFACTANT
Has inherent cleansing properties that perform as well or better than synthetic versions.
FORMULA STABILIZER
Keeps ingredients stable longer, so you can swap harsh preservatives for natural alternatives.
CLEAN
Free from allergens, phthalates, sulfates, parabens and other harsh chemicals — and good for all hair types.
BIOSURFACTANTS
A cleaner way to clean.
A natural surfactant, Activated Silk is a versatile and bioharmonious replacement for synthetic versions. It synergizes with other premium natural surfactants to make them perform even better—creating an evolved class of gentle biosurfactants that can be widely used in cleansers, shampoos and more.
SURFACE TENSION
Displays better surface tension than commercial surfactants and biosurfactants.
FOAM STABILITY
Shows longer-lasting stability than commercial biosurfactants sophorolipids and rhamnolipids.
MEDICAL
The body loves bioharmony.
From aesthetic medicine to controlled-release drug delivery systems, Activated Silk is sparking a new generation of bioharmonious medical materials. It’s already showing its advantages as a bioharmonious dermal filler, with countless other applications on the way.
PROTEIN-BASED
Biocompatible and safe for the body.
ADVANCED BENEFITS
May provide more precise swelling control and better optical properties for superficial skin targeting.
VERSATILE USE
Aims to support multiple product indications, with advanced material properties that don’t currently exist.
On the Horizon
The possibilities? Pretty limitless.
Our scientists are constantly brainstorming ways of making things better and healthier — for our clothes, our favorite foods, even our toothpaste.
CIRCLEMADE™
Lead the circular-materials revolution. Created with regenerated fibers and Activated Silk, our all-natural CircleMade material is designed to be high-performance, with enhanced dye absorption, better durability and planet-friendly recyclability.
FOOD PRESERVATION
As a natural protein, Activated Silk can replace conventional waxes to prolong the life of our favorite foods. Cheese that lasts longer, strawberries that stay fresh, avocados that don’t over-ripen overnight—you name it, we’re cooking up healthy, all-natural ways to make it stay delicious with a light layer of silk protein.
ORAL CARE
With development partners, we’re exploring Activated Silk as an agent for texturizing and emulsification in oral care. One example: With Activated Silk’s multipurpose emulsifying and cleaning benefits, we may be able to create toothpaste with far fewer–and far better–ingredients. That’s something to smile about.
ISO:FORWARD-THINKING BRANDS AND LIKE-MINDED MAKERS.
We’re always looking to partner with innovative brands and creators to make things better, healthier and Earth-friendlier.
