Evolved By Nature Newsletter

September 14, 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.
Evolved By Nature was proud to be a part of Fashinnovation’s 3rd Worldwide Talks at New York Fashion Week this year! Our Co-Founder and CEO, Dr. Greg Altman, engaged in an illuminating discussion on the importance of sustainable materials and chemistries within the fashion industry. The session's recording is available for viewing here: “Fashion Is Textiles and Chemicals via Technologies Shaping Sustainability Efforts.”
Right on our bodies' surface resides trillions of microorganisms- bacteria, fungi, viruses, - all of them calling our skin home. The microbiome, a biodiverse colony of little beings, keeps the skin healthy and glowing. In the age where pollutants, contagions, and more, are increasing in scale and variation, our skin needs protection. However, the urge to protect against these threats must be paired with ensuring our skin’s microbiome is in balance. Toxicants often found in synthetic skincare do more damage to the microbiome than good- typically stripping the natural systems that maintain skin health. So, where’s the happy medium? It’s naturally-derived, minimal ingredient skincare that won't harm the ecosystems living on our skin and planet.

A "new plastic wave" is coming to our shores. Microplastics are virtually everywhere. And that's not the only problem- a variety of toxicants from our global supply chain leach into the environment. But we've known about these types of pollutants for quite some time, how is this news different from the past? Well, researchers are providing more evidence about how environmental externalities and waste impact our health. Today, we find ourselves with an ever-present health risk from toxicants commonly found in our everyday products. Now more than ever, the connection is being made that maintaining our planet's health, from mitigating chemical leaching to protecting biodiversity, means maintaining our own health.

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. Lots of hair care products are packed with synthetic polymers, high-VOC aerosols, and microplastics that weigh your hair down. We’re changing that by replacing harsh chemicals with natural, high-performing ingredients that work with your hair, not against it. Learn more at the link in bio.
On #WorldLeatherDay, we’d like you to imagine a On #WorldLeatherDay, we’d like you to imagine a new beginning for leather finishing. And you don’t actually have to imagine it, because it’s already here. We’ve created something special — a biofinishing system for leather called Activated Silk™ L1. 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
