SVX mimics the properties of spider silk, which is stronger than steel yet elastic. Its porosity allows it to slowly release ingredients proven to protect skin and reduce wrinkles.
About
Naturally occurring spider silk is a biomaterial with tensile strength comparable to steel but with significantly greater elasticity. SEEVIX MATERIAL SCIENCES is a privately held biotech company producing patented, animal-free (no use of spiders), "green", high-strength, SVX™ fibers, identical or superior to natural spider silk fibers. Through recombinant DNA technologies, we are UNIQUE in our ability to replicate the natural process of spider silk creation by way of spontaneous self-assembly of the proteins. We do not need to purify or artificially spin those proteins into fibers. SVX's game-changing features boost the performance and capabilities of cosmetic products by enhancing elasticity, strength and durability to achieve significant visible improvement in skin and hair care that positively changes customers’ experiences.
Key Benefits
Strength, elasticity and the proven ability to absorb and slowly release active skincare ingredients. SVX™ can absorb and slowly release molecules such as Triclosan, antibiotics or hyaluronic and lactic acids.
Applications
SVX™ has applications in many industries seeking to make use of its extraordinary strength and elasticity.
