SPIDER WEB EXTRACT.

Valuable / SKIN CONDITIONING

Derived from advanced biotechnological processes, Spider Web Extract harnesses the remarkable properties of spider silk proteins to provide comprehensive skin rejuvenation. It is engineered to deliver potent antioxidant defense, enhance skin barrier function, and visibly reduce signs of aging through firming and hydration.

Science

Mechanism of Action

Lab-synthesized spider silk proteins establish a delicate micro-mesh upon topical application, imparting an immediate lifting and firming sensation. These amino acid-rich proteins actively bolster the skin's endogenous collagen and elastin synthesis, promoting enhanced elasticity and structural integrity. Furthermore, they contribute to effective, lightweight hydration and reinforce the skin's protective barrier. Smaller, highly bioavailable spider silk peptides are believed to penetrate deeper, while the biopolymer itself functions as a potent antioxidant, and can serve as an intelligent delivery system for other active ingredients. Hydrolyzed forms specifically act as skin conditioners, promoting a smoother, softer texture and maintaining optimal hydration.

Key findings

  1. 01 A 1% concentration of a spider silk-inspired biopolymer (SVX) significantly improved skin barrier protection and exhibited antioxidant properties approximately 130 times greater than L-ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), based on DPPH assay results.
  2. 02 Spider web peptide (10-70 KDa) effectively inhibited melanin production and suppressed inflammatory cytokine expression induced by ultraviolet irradiation, leading to notable skin whitening and prevention of UV-induced skin damage.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Low

While the CIR has not specifically reviewed 'Spider Web Extract', related spider silk-inspired biopolymers (SVX) have successfully completed safety evaluations, including patch testing and Human Repeat Insult Patch Testing (HRIPT), confirming non-irritating and non-sensitizing properties. Natural spider silk is generally recognized as non-allergenic. Nonetheless, as with any novel ingredient, a preliminary patch test is advisable before widespread use due to potential, though uncommon, individual sensitivities.
