At VEGAMOUR, the mission is clear — innovate hair care using clean, cruelty-free ingredients rooted in scientific rigor. One biotech breakthrough powering this philosophy is Karmatin™, a vegan silk polypeptide inspired by the strength and elasticity of spider silk but bioengineered in the lab for maximum efficacy and sustainability.
This guide clarifies how Karmatin™ is made, what sets it apart and why it matters for your hair wellness® routine.
Inspired by Nature, Perfected by Science
To create Karmatin™, we looked to one of nature’s most remarkable materials: the silk of the wasp spider. Ultra-strong and elastic, it mimics the effects of both collagen and elastin, which are two essential proteins that contribute to strong, resilient hair.
However, because we’re committed to being 100% vegan, we didn’t harvest silk from spiders. Instead, we used biotechnology to create a polypeptide that replicates its powerful results — without harming any animals in the process.
The Benefits of Karmatin™
What makes Karmatin™ so beneficial is the fact that it’s a high molecular weight polypeptide with more than 100 amino acids, allowing it to bond to your hair rather than wash away. Here’s what it does:
- Strengthens hair from root to tip, helping reduce breakage and split ends
- Smooths and softens, improving texture and manageability without heavy buildup
- Enhances shine, offering an instant glass-like look and feel
- Protects hair from UV damage and environmental aggressors with no need to rinse
- Silicone-free yet delivers better results than traditional synthetic smoothers
Fueled by Microencapsulation Technology
What really sets Karmatin™ apart is microencapsulation — a process that acts like a delivery system while ensuring the peptide remains stable and effective. Each microcapsule is designed to release Karmatin™ exactly where it’s needed, whether it’s your scalp, the cuticle or the inner layers of the hair shaft.
