Climate change finally proved to be a significant issue this election season. After being discussed a few times on the debate stage, polls probing voters' level of concern on the subject revealed complexities. A New York Times poll reported that 58% of Americans said they were concerned about climate change, while Fox News exit polls simultaneously revealed that 72% of voters were worried about climate change. Both numbers point to the increasing trend of most Americans accepting the scientific evidence of anthropogenic climate change. However, when considering the share of votes deciding who is elected to office, these numbers highlight a gap between voters' desired policies and the politicians they're choosing. Still, November’s election results revealed a slight upper-hand for a new administration with more climate-friendly visions and policies, thanks to young voters – particularly young voters of color – and women. This outcome is crucial for the United States to get back on track to implement an ambitious climate policy rooted in conservation, justice, and green, economic growth. The first step? Rejoining the Paris Agreement.

Common sustainability and social impact tools such as “Environmental, Social, Corporate Governance” (ESG), Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs), and Carbon Offset programs signal compliance with consumer demand for improved sustainability practices. Yet these tools can come with methodological issues rooted in the fact that environmental impact is insanely difficult to quantify, especially when attempting to factor all known externalities. Additionally, some tools face more challenges than others, especially those that depend on a company’s own commitment to corporate responsibility versus reporting to a third party – take, for example, the recent Vogue Business report of ESGs in the fashion world. Another barrier to understanding true measures of success is the variation in execution of these sustainability tools. LCAs, although vulnerable to input variability, can be conducted by third parties in order to minimize company bias. Often dismissed as ignoring the root problem of climate change, carbon offsets can take form in funding both sequestration initiatives and GHG emission prevention. Tools like these will continue to see hiccups, but the development to increase their accuracy is indispensable in fighting for greater transparency. For now, we’ll just have to continue to read the fine print.

Each arrangement was made with local flowers that should have been out of season, but that were still blooming due to climate change.

Instead of plastic sleeves, we wrapped these bouquets in samples of Evolved By Nature’s carbon reductive leather and sent them to fashion brands – literally putting the power to make a difference in their hands.

That’s why we’ve used the power of biotechnology to create a platform of peptides that support your skin’s natural production of valuable foundational proteins, like collagen, claudin, involucrin and more.

Nature gave us everything we need — we’re just unlocking it.

The skincare industry has relied on petrochemicals The skincare industry has relied on petrochemicals for far too long.

Petroleum jelly (or petrolatum) is a byproduct of non-renewable fossil fuels.

Sure, it has some uses. But when you look at that tub full of grease, it makes you wonder if there are better alternatives.

We wondered, too. And then we went and created those better alternatives.

Until now, making leather water-resistant meant co Until now, making leather water-resistant meant coating it with a forever chemical finish.

That didn’t sit right with us — covering a natural material in plastic defeats the purpose. So we created a better solution: Activated Silk™ L1, a biofinishing system made without PFAS.

It raises the performance of leather by every measure, outperforming existing traditional petrochemical finishing in everything from colorfastness and flexibility to, yes, water resistance.

Endocrine disrupting chemicals can work in unpredi Endocrine disrupting chemicals can work in unpredictable ways, causing harm in even small doses.

So why are they in so many personal care products?

Because they’re cheap, effective, and often unregulated. For decades, these chemicals have been used to preserve shelf life, enhance texture, or add fragrance — even when safer alternatives exist.

That’s why we make alternative ingredients that aren’t just safer, but also high performing, so that brands can create better personal care products that get real, beneficial results, while being formulated without chemicals of concern.

We’ll keep creating ingredients that are better for people and the planet. So that in the near future, avoiding harmful chemicals is a much less disruptive process.

Building a sustainable future means working with e Building a sustainable future means working with ecosystems — not against them — to meet our needs in a way that’s genuinely nature-positive.

It’s not easy. In fact, it runs counter to how most things are generally done. But it’s entirely possible. Especially if you love all of the amazing complexities that exist within nature. ⁠

We certainly do. We look deep inside natural, renewably sourced silk protein to find a vast array of incredibly powerful peptides. Nature has already done the hard work — we simply unlock it, using these peptides to help brands create products that are both more natural and more effective.

Our ingredients are designed to replace petrochemicals, silicones, and other questionable synthetics, transforming how industries like fashion and skincare interact with people and the planet.

Our entire deal is based on nature’s complexity, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. ⁠

Spring is the perfect time to declutter your space Spring is the perfect time to declutter your space.

As you clean up, keep an eye out for common culprits like SLS, PEGs, petrolatum, dimethicone, and phthalates. These ingredients often show up in soaps, cleansers, lotions, and everyday household products.

Over time, harmful chemicals can build up in our bodies — a process known as body burden or bioaccumulation. Even small exposures from personal care, cleaning supplies, and household materials can add up.

And it’s not just our bodies. These chemicals can accumulate in ecosystems too, washing down the drain and into our environment.

That’s why we created Activated Silk™ biotechnology to clean up the chemistry around us. 

Activated Silk™ ingredients are made from biodegradable and biocompatible silk protein. 

They’re designed to replace traditional, toxic chemicals in skincare and personal care products — and outperform them.

We’re helping brands detox their formulas.

Because sometimes, tidying up starts at the ingredient level.
