Depigmenting potential of sulfur-containing peptides

French cosmetic active producer Silab has developed a natural depigmenting ingredient, rich in sulfur-containing peptides obtained from the yeast Ogataea siamensis through bioguiding biotechnological processes.

ABSTRACT

A defect-free complexion is extremely important in many cultures, explaining why there are many depigmenting molecules on the market. This is especially the case for sulfur-containing molecules described for their capacity to limit the different steps of melanogenesis. Based on this observation, Silab developed a natural depigmenting active ingredient, rich in sulfur-containing peptides obtained from the yeast Ogataea siamensis through bioguiding biotechnological processes. With its transversal depigmenting activity, observed in the emerging contexts of glycation and pollution, it represents the ideal solution for a revived and uniform complexion.

The search for a perfect complexion is a major preoccupation, even of the youngest generations. Hyperpigmentation and complexion uniformity are among the top 5 cosmetic concerns of Millennials and of Gen Z.1 In some regions, the colour and uniformity of the skin are not only signs of beauty but also of good health, as in Asia for example.2
