What is Silk Peptide?

Silk Peptide, or Activated Silk 33B-α, is a solution made up of a bioactive peptide called Claudin-1 that works to firm and hydrate the skin – improving the skin barrier. Collagen plumps the underlying skin layers, but claudin binds the top layer of skin together. It prevents skin barrier cells from loosening and drifting farther apart, which is what causes inflammation and visible signs of aging. This separation can also allow more environmental stressors to come into the skin as well as allow moisture to escape the skin.

Claudin-1 is a non-occlusive protein that works to lock in moisture, calm irritation and redness, and prevent signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles. Also as it is water soluble, it lasts on the skin and works in places that other skincare bases cannot.

Why use Silk Peptide?

Silk Peptide is effective.

In studying the product, there were effects seen in as little as 7 days including increasing water retention by 18%, decreasing redness by 10%, and reducing wrinkles by 4% against placebo. It also was tested for retention after rinse-off and it has better retention than a lot of commercial products, allowing for its constantly ongoing positive benefits.

Silk Peptide is sustainable.

Silk Peptide biotechnology was innovated to help not only people but the planet. It utilizes silk cocoons typically seen as a waste product in the animal-food industry. Silk Peptide is cruelty-free and toxin-free– its ingredients are pure using only the silk protein, water, and salt.

When you wash your face, the ingredients of Silk Peptide rinsed down the drain are biodegradable and return to the carbon cycle, promoting a circular economy with nature and the environment. Look good and feel good, without the guilt or fear of non-eco-friendly packaging or toxic inactive ingredients.
