Silab has been awarded the International Cosmetics Innovation Conference (ICIC) raw material innovation category award for its multifunctional natural active ingredient Inclusium in Shanghai, China.
Inclusium, made from seeds of the alfalfa plant, is designed to enhance the beauty of skin of all types.
To this end, the company used a unique approach by identifying the main skin characteristics of consumers according to ethnicity, gender, and age.
Three expectations stood out: a beautiful skin quality, an even, radiant complexion and reduced signs of ageing.
In order to meet these expectations, Inclusium boasts a cross-disciplinary spectrum of activity, stimulating the biological pathways essential to epidermal and dermal functionalities.
Silab CEO Brigitte Closs-Gonthier said: “The development of this active ingredient called on a wide range of in-house expertise, including tissue engineering and omics. But it was above all from a clinical point of view that the work was colossal.
“Silab has chosen to take into account the specific concerns of each ethnic group, which is why five clinical studies were specifically designed in consultation with experts from four different countries,” she added.
“We are pleased to receive this award, which recognizes the extensive work we have put into developing a natural active ingredient capable of responding rapidly and over the long term to universal cosmetic expectations.”
