Lactobiotyl from Silab is a new natural postbiotic active ingredient that can restore hydration and luminosity to dry skin. It improves the integrity and renewal of the epidermal barrier while preserving the equilibrium of the cutaneous microbiota.
For the development of its new care product for dry skin, Silab Research drew inspiration from the adaptation properties of a plant probiotic (Lactobacillus arizonensis) to a desert climate. This living microorganism colonises jojoba, a shrub known for its adaptation to extremely dry conditions, as those of the Arizona desert. In order to ensure its survival, this good bacterial species (= probiotic) bioconverts molecules of its host into bioactive metabolites, more commonly called postbiotics.
Based on their recognised expertise in mastering naturals, the microbiota and biotechnologies,
Silab teams have reproduced in industrial bioreactors the natural environment of this bacterial
species specific to desert climates by growing it in association with its host, jojoba. This targeted
bioguiding technology has directly resulted in the production of bioactive molecules that constitute
Lactobiotyl.
Advanced analytical techniques have enabled these bioactive molecules to be identified. They are
cyclic polyols, osmoprotecting molecules known to regulate the water status of the plant in conditions of drought. In the skin, these molecules directly target dry skin, thereby making Lactobiotyl an ideal care product to treat dry skin.
