Abstract
Functional vegan silk polypeptides are used in personal care products for protective benefits, such as breathable anti-pollution protection, and as a natural fixator for long-lasting effects. One step further goes the development of the first easy-to-use functional 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, achieving prolonged efficacy and protection of actives.
