Silab

World leader in the engineering of natural active ingredients

A French independent company, SILAB has been recognized for its expertise in skin biology and in mastering plants and biotechnologies for more than 40 years. It provides patented active ingredients with proven efficacy and safety, intended for major names in global cosmetic and dermo-cosmetic industry of skin care and hair care.

Solutions for healthy skin. SILAB Cosmetics markets a catalog of more than 100 cosmetic natural active ingredients, with scientifically proven functional properties complying with international regulations. They are recognized on the global beauty market for their high level of scientific innovation.

Solutions for compromised skin. SILAB Softcare has a strong commitment to health. Intended for the dermo-cosmetic and dermatological markets, its active ingredients respond to cutaneous disorders (atopic dermatitis, acne, etc.) by reactivating the biological mechanisms of healthy skin according to three principles of excellence: Efficacy, Safety and Naturality.

Dry film technology. SILAFILM® is a groundbreaking technology for diffusing active ingredients in the skin, resulting from the company’s expertise in biopolymerization. This technological innovation consists of a natural, biodegradable dry film, highly concentrated in SILAB’s natural active ingredients, which can be used by brands in patches, strips, masks etc. Activated in contact with water, this functionalized support rapidly and intensely releases active molecules deep down in the skin.

Corporate social responsibility

As a sustainable supplier of natural active ingredients and in line with its three founding values of independence, excellence, and quality, SILAB integrates social, environmental, and societal responsibility in all its activities. The Actively Caring CSR program gathers daily sustainable actions and sets clear and ambitious objectives for the next five years. Applied to all levels of activity, it is structured in five essential pillars: 1 - sustainable strategy, 2 - the development of human potential, 3 - responsible sourcing, 4 - a preserved environment, 5 - support of communities.

Representing the natural culmination of SILAB’s perseverance, values and commitment, EcoVadis’ rating platform recognized this proactive CSR engagement, awarding it Platinum status. Visit the Actively Caring eco-designed website for more details: https://activelycaring.silab.fr/en/

When Technology enhances Nature.

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.

LIFTILIENCE®, the force of a polyvalent tensor with optimal adhesion

LIFTILIENCE® is a film-forming natural active ingredient obtained from a novel technology, enabling functionalized helical biopolymers to be obtained from chestnuts. Thanks to this innovation, its tensor effect and adhesion properties have been optimized. A true beauty enhancer, LIFTILIENCE® smooths microrelief, enhances complexion radiance and improves skin softness. In addition, included in a foundation or a primer, it favors makeup holding power. This polyvalent tensor thus offers multiple rapid and long-lasting benefits for the face and body.

LONGEVICELL, push back the limits of cell aging

LONGEVICELL® is a natural anti-aging active ingredient obtained from myrtle leaves and targeting sirtuins and their coactivators (NAD+ and AMPK). By acting on these key players of longevity, it improves mitochondrial activity and limits glycation and the onset of cell senescence. Protein oxidation is therefore reduced and cellular energy production increased at the level of the epidermis for a complexion radiance enhancer effect. In addition, the quality of the dermal matrix is improved, providing firming and anti-wrinkle properties. These benefits are visible as of 14 days on the face and body.

NEOLIPYL®, the natural bulwark against skin dryness

NEOLIPYL® is a restructuring natural active ingredient obtained from cornflowers, able to re-equilibrate the lipid matrix of dry skin by acting on both its composition and structure: it restores the synthesis of epidermal lipids and optimizes their conformation and organization. The barrier function of dry skin is thus reinforced for hydrating and smoothing niacinamide-like effects visible as of 14 days of application. In addition, the active ingredient acts as a natural partner of retinol on normal skin by limiting its adverse effects and supporting its cosmetic benefits.

Worldwide Recognized Expertise

SILAB's strength comes from integrating all its activities on a single site in France.

Mastering Natural with 100% natural raw materials, eco-friendly industrial processes as well as bioactive molecule’s characterization and assessment of its biodegradability and safety.

SILAB’s signatures in skin biology from basic research to cosmetic solutions: autophagy, dermis segmentation, epigenetics, mechanobiology, skin regeneration, etc.

Cutting-edge technologies dedicated to the development of innovative active ingredients: biotechnology, microbiota, 3D biological models (SILABSKIN^®), digital imaging, phytotensors, etc.
