The New Dimension of Microcapsules: Plastic-free Encapsulation Technology Using Functional Vegan Silk Polypeptides

Functional vegan silk polypeptides are used in personal care products for protective benefits, such as breathable anti-pollutionFunctional vegan silk polypeptides are used in personal care products for protective benefits, such as breathable anti-pollutionprotection, and as a natural fixator for long-lasting effects. One step further goes the development of the first easy-to-usefunctional cosmetic microcapsules without the need of microplastic. This opens up new dimensions for personal care products.Both, lipophilic substances as well as hydrophilic substances (e.g. fragrances, dyes) can be encapsulated by vegan silk, achievingprolonged efficacy and protection of actives.
