Evolved By Nature has introduced a groundbreaking bioactive peptide, Activated Silk 8A-α, designed to improve skin tone and address visible hyperpigmentation. The company highlights that this innovative ingredient supports natural late-stage cell differentiation, clinically proven to activate the skin’s processes and reduce hyperpigmentation while enhancing overall skin brightness.
Evolved By Nature Unveils Skin Tone-Enhancing Peptide: Activated Silk 8A-α offers a new approach to skin rejuvenation by providing exfoliation from within, making it a reliable alternative to traditional vitamins and chemical peels. Unlike many other skin brighteners, Activated Silk 8A-α is safe for sensitive skin and stable in formulations, including those used in sunscreen routines, where other brightening ingredients often fail.
Activated Silk 8A-α Active Functions
This bioactive peptide (pending INCI: Soluble Fibroin) supports natural cell turnover and continuous skin renewal. By reducing the buildup of dead skin cells, it promotes a smoother, more resilient skin surface and an even skin tone. In addition, it helps reinforce the skin’s barrier function, offering protection from environmental stressors while enhancing overall skin vitality and radiance.
The effects of Activated Silk 8A-α lead to a noticeably brighter complexion, visibly reducing hyperpigmentation, redness, and blemishes, contributing to healthier-looking skin.
Evolved By Nature Unveils Skin Tone-Enhancing Peptide: Activated Silk 8A-α has also been tested for clinical efficacy and safety. In a 28-day clinical study with 18 participants using a 0.5% concentration of the peptide, results included:
- A reduction in the appearance of hyperpigmentation
- An increase in skin brightness and radiance
- Fewer visible blemishes
- A reduction in skin redness, with soothing effects
- Daily use without irritation
- Safe use in various formulations beyond night creams
Formulation Benefits: Activated Silk 8A-α
One of the key advantages of Activated Silk 8A-α is its ability to integrate seamlessly into sunscreen routines, unlike many other treatments for hyperpigmentation that are highly photosensitive. This makes it a versatile ingredient that can be used throughout the day. Additionally, the peptide is sustainable and aligns with eight of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, contributing to a circular economy. It is biodegradable, made from renewable, upcycled materials, and certified cruelty-free.
Activated Silk 8A-α: Redefining Skin Rejuvenation
Svetlana Marukian, Vice President of R&D at Evolved By Nature, shared her excitement about the launch: “Activated Silk 8A-α redefines the skin rejuvenation experience, and we’re so excited for consumers to start seeing and feeling the difference. We created this bioactive peptide to truly partner with the skin and help naturally mitigate issues associated with visible hyperpigmentation.”
Marukian also emphasized the brand’s commitment to sustainability, noting that while traditional skincare often relies on unsustainable, petrochemical-based ingredients, Evolved By Nature is dedicated to creating next-generation bioactive ingredients that enhance the skin’s natural ability to regenerate and maintain health. This new peptide offers an innovative solution to help formulators achieve desired results without relying on outdated or harmful ingredients.
