Science & Benefits

Produced via fermentation, this polypeptide mimics the structural proteins of spider silk (spidroins). It forms a physical, breathable, and flexible 'micro-mesh' on the skin's surface. This mesh acts as a physical shield against environmental pollutants while 'locking' water-soluble humectants into the epidermis. It is 100% non-comedogenic and provides a unique 'silk-slip' texture without the use of silicones. It is a 'bulletproof' choice for city-dwellers with acne, providing anti-pollution protection and sustained hydration in a weightless, non-occlusive film.
