The science of Silk
Taking inspiration from ancient biomaterials, we’ve developed a patented extraction and purification process transforming silkworm cocoons to create our exclusive hydrolyzed silk fibroin ingredient.
This proprietary blend of active silk peptides has the ability to protect, heal, and transform, and lies at the heart of our nature-based, science-backed formulations.
Transformative Protection Engineered by Nature
The silk cocoon has evolved over millions of years to provide perfect protection from the environment and serve as a vessel of transformation. Silk fibroin is a pure, liquified silk protein derived from cocoons that acts as a natural barrier.
- Natural, biodegradable peptide
- History (over 1000 years) of silk use and benefit
- Skin barrier formation and moisture retention
- Hydration (plumping skin, reducing fine lines)
- Antioxidant activity
- Anti-inflammatory activity
- Safe (biocompatible and non-allergenic)
The Silklyfe Difference
Nature First
All formulations are created using naturally derived ingredients, are paraben and petroleum-free, and biodegradable.
A Strong Foundation
Our silk fibroin ingredient and our formulations have been rigorously tested, which resulted in positive impacts across 17 therapeutic areas.
Ultimate Protection
Our silk fibroin ingredient and key formulations were shown, in both laboratory and clinical studies, to provide outstanding results, even outperforming proven known actives.
