US personal care ingredient maker Evolved by Nature has appointed California-based Oh, Oh Organic as its exclusive distributor in North America.
Boston-based Evolved by Nature creates clinically proven, high-performance ingredients using its proprietary Activated Silk biotechnology platform.
The bioactives produced are NATRUE Approved (100% natural), upcycled, cruelty-free, and made with renewable energy and renewable resources.
Activated Silk ingredients also support 14 of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, contribute to a circular economy, and have vastly increased levels of sustainability compared to outdated ingredients.
These ingredients are intended to be used by brands as next-gen alternatives that can reduce reliance on problematic chemicals and vastly increase product performance potential.
“In alignment with our commitment to verified, sustainable ingredients, we are honoured and excited to work with these innovative and naturally derived bioactive peptides,” said Gay Timmons, founder of Oh, Oh Organic.
“The possibilities for skin and hair health are nearly limitless with these ingredients from Evolved By Nature,” she added.
Oh, Oh Organic has samples in stock ready to ship from the West Coast of the following Activated Silk ingredients: 33B-α (skin barrier booster), 8A- α (hyperpigmentation reduction and skin brightener), 27P-α (collagen promoter), KDF- β (skin protection and repair) and Hydrogels (skin hydration, hair repair, and superior emulsifier).
“We’re thrilled to partner with Oh, Oh Organic to bring Activated Silk bioactive peptides to more brands focused on sustainability and performance,” said Greg Altman, CEO of Evolved By Nature.
“Our collaboration helps accelerate the shift away from fossil fuel-derived ingredients and away from what we would consider ‘first-gen ingredients’ – chemicals like retinols that have some benefits but haven’t been able to evolve past their downsides.”
