US life sciences company Evolved By Nature has launched Activated Silk 8A, a tone-boosting bioactive peptide designed to brighten skin and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation.
Biodegradable, certified cruelty-free, and crafted from renewable and upcycled materials, Activated Silk 8A-𝛼 supports natural late stage cell differentiation and is clinically proven to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and improve the appearance of skin brightness.
By supporting the skin's natural cell turnover process, old skin cells are shed through the cornified layer, making way for new, healthy cells.
This continuous renewal helps maintain a smooth, resilient skin surface, minimizes the buildup of dead cells, and promotes an even skin tone.
Additionally, healthy cell turnover can support the skin's barrier function, protect against environmental stressors, and contribute to overall skin vitality and radiance.
The result is a visibly brighter complexion with reduced appearance of hyperpigmentation, redness, and blemishes.
Activated Silk 8A-𝛼 is clinically proven, stable in formulation, non-irritating for sensitive skin, and safe for use in the sun.
It can be seamlessly incorporated into sunscreen routines, distinguishing it from many conventional hyperpigmentation treatments that are highly photosensitive.
It is the third peptide to be launched on Evolved By Nature's naturally-derived and science-backed Activated Silk platform for skin care, which is designed to promote three core tenets of skin health: homeostasis, regeneration, and renewal.
Svetlana Marukian, Vice President of Research and Development at Evolved By Nature, said: “Skin care has a long history of using unsustainable ingredients that superficially cover up problems without addressing the root cause.
“We’re here to usher in next-gen ingredients that support bioactive regulation and the skin’s natural ability revital skin health proteins. That way, formulators can achieve their desired results without having to rely on outdated petrochemistry.”
