b-silkTM and xl-silkTM Vegan Silk Polypeptides: Advanced Film-Forming Technology for Beauty
Powered by high molecular weight polypeptides, our Vegan Silk technology offers effective film-forming action providing functional benefits across skin care, hair care, and color cosmetics..
These biobased, biodegradable polypeptides are engineered to deliver a soft, luxurious sensorial experience, functioning as a natural alternative to silicone elastomers in a wide range of formulations.
Designed to deliver silky texture, enhance barrier function, and support formulation stability, it is an optimal choice for brands seeking a high-performance, environmentally responsible ingredient solution.
B-silkTM is inspired by a special silk produced by spiders, hence the amazing INCI name. It mimics the amino acid structure of natural spider silk, one of the toughest materials on earth, because it has both tensile strength and elasticity. B-silk™ contains the ideal proportion of strong and flexible peptide segments from the spider that naturally crosslink into a hydrophilic powder with powerful benefits and silicone elastomeric properties.

xl-silkTM features a unique polypeptide design that allows it to function as both a barrier and a carrier, providing dual benefits for your skin and hair. As a biodegradable film former, it combines the hydrating and scaffolding properties of silk, effectively defending against pollutants while maintaining optimal hydration. This results in healthier, softer, and smoother skin and hair, making xl-silkTM the superior choice for innovative, high-performance personal care products.
