Hyaluronic acid (HA) has been used in skincare for decades, but it’s known to irritate sensitive skin and complicate formulations. Skincare has evolved. Your ingredients should, too.
That's why Evolved By Nature designed Activated Silk™ Hydrogels to hydrate 4x better than HA, without the irritation. It's gentle, effective, and stays silky-smooth, without any of that HA stickiness.
Despite its long-standing presence in skincare, hyaluronic acid (HA) presents a list of challenges for both formulators and consumers. It can irritate sensitive skin and often fails HRIPT testing, making "dermatologist-tested" or "hypoallergenic" claims harder to achieve for brands. And its mechanism of action, which pulls water from the environment, can backfire in dry climates by drawing moisture out of the skin instead of into it.
From a formulation standpoint, HA is finicky. Its performance can degrade in low or high pH formulas, it may require stabilizers or emulsifiers, and it often adds a sticky texture that compromises sensoriality.
That’s why we developed Activated Silk™ Hydrogels — a next-generation, naturally derived ingredient that's clinically proven to hydrate 4x better than HA, without any of the formulation headaches.
Gentle, effective, and easy to formulate with, Activated Silk™ Hydrogels drops directly into the water phase of your formulation and stays silky-smooth, without any of that HA stickiness.
Better yet, Activated Silk™ Hydrogels don’t wash away, even when applied in rinse-away products like cleansers and washes, which means long-lasting hydration and moisture are locked in.
Activated Silk™ Hydrogels is also NATRUE-approved (100% natural), cruelty-free, and sustainable*.
The result? More hydration, powered by nature.
