FSS VegeaSilk

VegeaSilk is a biotechnology-driven, cruelty-free alternative to traditional silk proteins, designed for use in premium skincare, body care, and hair care formulations. While silk has long been celebrated for its softness, moisture-binding abilities, and luxurious sensory profile, its origin from silkworms has made it incompatible with modern ethical and sustainable beauty values.

Produced through the fermentation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker’s yeast), VegeaSilk mimics the amino acid profile of natural silk proteins particularly glycine, serine, and alanine which are essential to the film-forming, conditioning, and hydrating properties silk is known for. The result is a lightweight, water-soluble, protein-rich active that delivers elegant texture and sensory feel while meeting vegan and clean beauty standards.

MADE OF:

VegeaSilk is a fermented protein hydrolysate produced from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, using advanced yeast culturing and filtration techniques. This process yields a biomimetic alternative to hydrolyzed silk that contains essential amino acids, mimicking the molecular structure of fibroin and sericin found in natural silk — but entirely free from animal sources.

Scientifically Proven:

💧 Improved Skin Hydration – In a 30-day clinical study, FSS VegeaSilk increased skin moisture by 5.1% after 24 hours and 36.4% after 30 days, outperforming 2.0% Aloe Vera 10X Gel and performing comparably to traditional Silk Amino Acids.

💦 Hair Moisture Retention – Gravimetric analysis confirmed FSS VegeaSilk-treated hair retained 3.0% moisture, closely matching 2.8% retention from silkworm-derived hydrolyzed silk, and significantly better than the 5.8% and 2.4% moisture loss in untreated and water-only controls, respectively.

🧴 Shampoo Efficacy – When used at 2.0% in shampoo, FSS VegeaSilk improved cleansing performance, smoothing, and wet combability compared to the control formula.

✨ Conditioner Performance – In conditioner formulations, FSS VegeaSilk enhanced dry and wet combability, frizz control, shine, hydration, and overall sensory feel more effectively than the untreated conditioner.

📸 Visible Results – In a half-head application study, the side treated with FSS VegeaSilk-containing shampoo and conditioner appeared visibly smoother, shinier, and healthier, further confirming its functional and aesthetic performance.
