Personal Care, Textiles

Evolved By Nature Newsletter

July 20, 2020

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.

And why is ethical, sustainable fashion so expensive? The answer unveils a complicated truth: that the textile industry depends on a fast-paced, resource-intensive economic model. The cycle allows unsustainable textiles to be more accessible to a broader audience. As new clothes continually drop, so do the costs – and so do wages for workers who make those garments. As COVID-19's economic impact festers, long standing issues like workers' rights malpractice and health hazards are once again at the forefront of the conversation about fast fashion. These externalities are the invisible costs of clothing. Fortunately, the industry is now grappling with this more than ever. Setting the right price requires fair treatment of garment workers as central in sustainable solutions. Green chemistry is not only for buyers of fashion, but also for the safety of people who make the products we love.

From oil and gas companies writing off billions of assets, to cancellations of the Keystone XL, Dakota Access, and Atlantic pipelines, the future of the fossil fuel industry is uncertain. Naturally, this was a moment to rejoice a step toward planetary protection. But the fight isn’t over yet, especially as environmental rollbacks continue. A balancing act of transitioning from a fossil fuel-based economy to one that centers around renewables is just beginning. Pressure needs to come from all industries reliant on petrochemicals, by rethinking their relationship with the environment and investing in biocompatible solutions across the supply chain. Silo thinking will not be conducive to change. As the collapse of pipelines becomes a momentous occasion for economic transition, planetary protection must be at the root of transformation.

Our new FDA-regulated Gel Hand Sanitizer is now available for sale for personal and corporate use. We’ve eliminated the need for toxic preservatives, petroleum-based thickeners and endocrine-disrupting chemicals, resulting in a non-toxic hand sanitizer made with only four ingredients – including 70% alcohol and Activated Silk. Not only is it safe for waterways when washed down the drain, it is effective in providing a protective barrier for skin to deliver hydration. With our Helping Hands program, 100% of the profits from hand sanitizer sales go toward helping those in need. So far, we’ve been able to donate more than 2,400 bottles to 100+ organizations, including hospitals, community organizations, health centers, food pantries and more.

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.

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
