As biotech is taking over the beauty and personal care industry, how can we be sure that these new materials are safe to use? Lucky for us scientists, we love running tests to find out. - We executed HRIPT tests in over 400 subjects using vegan silk in water and in products - We run 3rd party skin & ocular toxicology tests on our molecules - We pour over medical and scientific literature to ground our hypothesies, theories, and findings - We work closely with our customers to produce safe and effective formulations Our b-silk and xl-silk materials went through all the scrutiny and passed with flying colors. Not only are our Vegan Silks efficacious and 100% biodegradable, they are also proven safe for both humans and our planet. #poweredbybolt #biotech #vegansilk

How can an INCI like sr-spider polypeptide-1 oligopeptide-178 be vegan?  That is the question we hear most often. We have designed our b-silk material to reproduce all the wonderful properties of real spider silk—strength, flexibility, elasticity—without the help of a real spider. By analyzing the polypeptide sequence of a spider web, we use synthetic biology and then fermentation to create the material. Simple science stuff. So yes, our b-silk is 100% vegan while also being 100% biodegradable, biobased, and efficacious. #poweredbybolt #biotech #vegansilk

What is White Biotechnology?  The short answer: fermentation. Using simple inputs of sugar, yeast, salt, and water, we take nature's protein and amino acid sequences and through the fermentation process, we produce our Vegan Silk Technologies, b-silk and xl-silk. Biobased, biodegradable, and efficacious for skin, hair, and color cosmetics. Want to learn more? Drop a comment and let's chat! #poweredbybolt #biotech #vegansilk
