Evolved by Nature will be debuting two bioactive skin care ingredients at NYSCC Suppliers' Day in New York City May 1-2.
The ingredients, Activated Silk 33B (INCI: Not Provided) and Activated Silk 27P (INCI: Not Provided), will be showcased by Barentz, the biotech company's North American distribution partner.
Activated Silk 33B is a barrier boosting bioactive designed to advance the appearance of healthy skin by supporting the natural production of claudin, a protein that binds a healthy skin barrier together, per the company. It is clinically proven to result in healthy, younger looking skin, reduce transepidermal water loss and result in a reduction in the appearance of redness, irritation and other signs of a compromised skin barrier – even with symptoms associated with eczema prone skin.

It is designed to work in formulas including water-based, low-viscosity and high sheer products and because it remains on skin after rinsing it can be effectively delivered in rinse-off products such as soaps and cleansers.
Activated Silk 27P is a bioactive supporting natural collagen production offering efficacies for anti-aging formulas. Unlike retinols which primarily stabilize existing collagen, Activated Silk 27P actively supports the natural production of collagen type 1.
It has been clinically proven to dramatically reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, visibly improve skin elasticity, as well as reduce the appearance of redness. Additionally, it offers advantages over harsh ingredients commonly used to address aging given that it is non-irritating to skin, even when combined with UV exposure. It also has greater stability than ingredeints such as vitamin C, per the company.
Germano Coelho, Evolved By Nature's vice president, commercial, commented: "With the launch of Activated Silk 33B and Activated Silk 27P, we're proving that nature and biotechnology can work hand-in-hand to create the next generation of foundational skin care actives. It's a very exciting time, and NYSCC is the perfect venue for our partner, Barentz, to bring these ingredients to brands looking toward the future."
