Activated Silk™ 8A - α Visible Hyperpigmentation Reduction
Activated Silk™ KDF - β Protection & Repair
Activated Silk™ 33B - α
Nothing boosts the barrier like the barrier itself.
- A water soluble peptide that works in places ceramides and petrolatum cannot
- Supports the natural production of claudin, boosting the skin barrier’s ability to maintain tight junctions between cells for hydrated, happier, healthier‑looking skin
- Prevents signs of irritation and premature aging such as fine lines and wrinkles
Introducing Activated Silk™ 33B-α — the bioactive peptide that supports healthier, younger looking skin for all skin types, and is even proven effective against symptoms associated with eczema-prone skin.
Nature always beats petrochemicals. And Activated Silk™ 33B-α is water soluble, so you can use it in formulations where synthetic ingredients like petrolatum and ceramides cannot be used.
While those synthetic ingredients coat the skin to mask symptoms, Activated Silk™ 33B-α turns the skin on, supporting the natural production of claudin to boost the barrier.
And the peptides stay on the skin after rinsing, so Activated Silk™ 33B-α can effectively be delivered in rinse-off products like soaps and cleansers.
94% of people who used it report younger, healthier looking skin.04 But try a free sample for your formulations and see for yourself.

Activated Silk™ 27P - α
The only natural pro‑collagen peptide on the market.
- Supports natural production of collagen Type 1, the most prominent and valuable form of collagen in the dermis
- Faster acting than traditional collagen ingredients. Clinical efficacy in as little as 14 days05
- Makes skin visibly firmer, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, won’t irritate even sensitive skin
Everyone knows about collagen, but do you know about the best way to get it? Introducing Activated Silk™ 27P-α — the bioactive peptide for visibly plumper, brighter, smoother looking skin.
While retinols do a great job of stabilizing existing collagen, they also do a great job of irritating the skin. Especially with UV exposure.
Activated Silk™ 27P-α does a different job. It turns the skin on to support the natural production of new collagen Type 1. It’s the natural way to actually amplify the collagen matrix, and it’s non-irritating no matter the skin type.
It’s not about chasing youth. It’s about how surprisingly beautiful and healthy skin can look when you reduce the visible effects of premature aging. And 100% of people who use Activated Silk™ 27P-α agreed.05 Try a free sample in your formulation and see for yourself.

Activated Silk™ KDF - β
The first peptide designed to fight modern skin stressors.
- Increases natural regeneration rate of skin
- Protects skin from external aggressors and oxidative stressors
- Reduces the appearance of symptoms associated with eczema-prone skin
Today’s environment has introduced new oxidative stressors to our skin, resulting in effects like dullness, hyperpigmentation and accelerated aging. While legacy skincare ingredients like hyaluronic acid, retinol, and vitamin C happen to address some symptoms of oxidative stress, they were not designed specifically for the problem.
Activated Silk™ KDF-β is a first-of-its-kind ingredient, developed specifically to help skin adapt to today’s evolving environmental challenges. In a class of its own, this bioactive peptide solution offers greater repair and protection to skin’s epidermal layer by increasing the natural regeneration rate.
Activated Silk™ KDF-β supports skin’s natural differentiation, a process that replaces old skin cells with new, vibrant ones. As a result, skin cells spend less time exposed to external aggressors, and skin recovers from damage more quickly.
Increasing the skin's natural regeneration helps to reduce the appearance of dry and flaky skin, skin redness, and the appearance of symptoms associated with eczema-prone skin.
Activated Silk™ KDF-β also supports the natural production of beneficial skin health proteins: involucrin for elasticity, filaggrin for hydration, and claudin for skin barrier integrity. Delivering these supportive proteins further helps to strengthen the skin barrier and protect against external agressors and oxidative stressors.
Overall, Activated Silk™ KDF-β increases skin's natural keratinocyte differentiation, for skin rejuvenation that's scientifically proven, more natural and more sustainable.01
