Latest products

As a forerunner, SILAB is recognized worldwide as a specialist in the engineering of natural active ingredients and in the development of advanced phytotensors for the cosmetic industry. Driven by its high scientific expertise, SILAB launches several products each year to answer the current and future needs of its customers.

APIOSKIN^®, hygroscopic excellence for a plumped skin

APIOSKIN^® is a natural plumping active ingredient with outstanding hydrating properties, derived from the giant duckweed (Spirodela polyrhiza). Purified and enriched in apiogalacturonans, which give it its high hygroscopic capacity, APIOSKIN^® can take up and retain water, from the stratum corneum down to the upper dermis, and thus activate the levers of skin hydration. It provides flash and long-lasting hydration, superficially and in depth. Its smoothing, plumping and radiance-boosting effects beautify the skin. APIOSKIN^® is the ideal solution for dehydrated skin.

LIGHTSKIN^®, the depigmenting potential of sulfur-containing peptides

LIGHTSKIN^® is a natural depigmenting active ingredient rich in sulfur-containing peptides. The production of these molecules has been stimulated via a unique bioguiding process of the yeast Ogataea siamensis, allowing the efficacy of the active ingredient on melanocytes to be doubled. LIGHTSKIN^® limits melanogenesis and the expression of pro-pigmenting receptors related to pollution or glycation products. Pigment defects are attenuated, complexion is lighter and more uniform, radiance is revived. Tested in Caucasian and Asian panels, LIGHTSKIN^® is recommended in all depigmenting care products.

SENEVISIUM ^®, the anti-senescence ally to defy the signs of time

SENEVISIUM^® is an anti-senescence active ingredient rich in cyclitols derived from Ginkgo biloba, a supercentenarian tree with remarkable longevity. By circumventing the deleterious immunoevasion strategies put in place by senescent fibroblasts with age, SENEVISIUM^® reactivates their natural elimination by the immune system and preserves matrix synthesis and epidermal renewal. The skin thus recovers its density and elasticity for an anti-wrinkle and radiance-boosting action. Tested by Caucasian volunteers, SENEVISIUM^® is recommended in all skin care products for mature skin.
