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.
Authority Magazine recently featured our Co-Founder and COO, Dr. Rebecca Lacouture, as part of a series on female founders shaking up their industries. Beck has been through many ups and downs to create, scale and manage a business dedicated to creating healthier chemistry between people, the things they love and the planet. Based on her experience, she has two main pieces of advice for innovators eager to change the world for the better: 1) fail fast and 2) always remember to think. Check out her full interview to see why these two steps are crucial for success.
  • Authority Magazine: Dr. Rebecca Lacouture: “Fail fast” 
At times, chemistry can get political. A push-pull pattern has emerged between corporate interest and academia regarding the regulation of harmful chemicals. Confusion and mistrust is a byproduct commonly felt by non-experts. When honest discussions about chemical safety are missing, health and planetary harm tend to occur. Thankfully, some are taking well-researched risks seriously. Governmental institutions, especially in the EU and California, are adopting regulations and setting precedents to limit the use of harmful chemicals such as parabens, PFAS, neonicotinoid pesticides, and more. Some of these chemical policy wins have been related to climate action efforts, linking petrochemicals to a broader pollution problem. Right now, government action on chemical regulation may seem sparse. But the long journey ahead can be paved with a multifaceted effort created by academics, policy-makers, and green chemistry innovators.

Within various industries capturing the eco-conscious and diverse zeitgeist of today, sustainability frameworks and reports are bountiful. Actionable steps toward a competitive, biocompatible, circular economy seem to be on everyone’s to-do list. But who exactly creates these frameworks? And when implemented, how do these sustainability goals impact people? Recent media coverage on circularity highlights the importance of including various voices to help create holistic change while mitigating societal externalities and understanding ecological limits. It is a call for straying away from the uber-conceptual by bringing in more perspectives to help optimize the most positive impact for all people while implementing corporate and public sustainability goals.

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. ⁠ #cleanbeauty #cleanskincare #crueltyfree #crueltyfreebeauty #greenbeauty #healthyskin #naturalbeauty #naturalskincare #nontoxicbeauty #healthandwellness #skincare #skincareaddict #skincareluxury #skincaretips #skincarelover
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. #cleanbeauty #cleanskincare #crueltyfree #crueltyfreebeauty #greenbeauty #healthyskin #naturalbeauty #naturalskincare #nontoxicbeauty #healthandwellness #skincare #skincareaddict #skincareluxury #skincaretips #skincarelover
Step into the room hair first. Lots of hair care Step into the room hair first.

It’s biodegradable and more sustainable* than traditional leather finishes. It’s also proven to raise the performance metrics of leather in every way. A leather finish that’s better for leather and better for the environment? Happy World Leather day, indeed. *The manufacturing of Activated Silk™ L1 technology contributes to achieving 12/17 U.N. Sustainable Development Goals. For more information, visit sdgs.un.org/goals

Many synthetic ingredients don’t meet the qualif Many synthetic ingredients don’t meet the qualifications to claim sustainability. So instead, they’ll be marketed as “naturally-derived,” “vegan,” or “clean.” That might sound good at first glance. But not all “naturally-derived” materials are sourced in renewable ways. Not all “vegan” products are sustainable or even cruelty-free. And not all “clean” materials are good for the health of people or planet. We encourage you to look for brands that can back up their claims and don’t use vague marketing terms. And in the meantime, we’re more than happy to share why we support a “sustainable” claim on all of our Activated Silk™ peptides: -They’re biodegradable. -They’re made from upcycled materials. -They’re made with renewable resources. -They’re not formulated with petrochemicals. -They’re supportive of a circular economy. -They support 14 out of 17 U.N. Sustainable Development Goals. #cleanbeauty #cleanskincare #crueltyfree #crueltyfreebeauty #glowingskin #greenbeauty #healthyskin #naturalbeauty #naturalskincare #nontoxicbeauty #skincarebrand #healthandwellness #skin #skincare #skincareaddict #skincareblogger #skincarecollection #skincarecommunity #skincarejunkie #skincarelover #skincareluxury #skincareobsessed #skincareproduct #skincareproducts #skincareregime #skincareroutine #skincareroutines #skincaretips #health #wellness
If skincare products irritate your skin, it might If skincare products irritate your skin, it might be because your barrier is compromised, causing harsh ingredients to penetrate too deeply. You should meet Activated Silk™ 33B. It’s a gentle, naturally derived peptide that’s designed to support your skin barrier. It helps by supporting the natural production of claudin, a vital skin health protein, to lock in moisture and lock out inflammation instigators. Skincare just got a lot less irritating with Activated Silk™ 33B. #cleanbeauty #cleanskincare #crueltyfree #crueltyfreebeauty #glowingskin #greenbeauty #healthyskin #naturalbeauty #naturalskincare #nontoxicbeauty #skincarebrand #healthandwellness #skin #skincare #skincareaddict #skincareblogger #skincarecollection #skincarecommunity #skincarejunkie #skincarelover #skincareluxury #skincareobsessed #skincareproduct #skincareproducts #skincareregime #skincareroutine #skincareroutines #skincaretips #health #wellness
