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 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.

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.

DEOLYA^®, the daily deo-care

DEOLYA^® is a natural deodorant active ingredient derived from meadowsweet (Spiraea ulmaria L.), respectful of the axillary area skin physiology and providing a dual efficacy. On the one hand, it limits perspiration odors by acting on Staphylococcus hominis, a bacterial species responsible for unpleasant odors. On the other hand, it relieves irritations by reducing inflammation and by strengthening the barrier function. A genuine hygiene and skin care active ingredient, DEOLYA^® has an immediate and long-term deodorant action and provides a soothing effect daily and after shaving/epilation.

COMMUSYS^®, a key player in dermis-epidermis communication

COMMUSYS^® is a natural anti-aging active ingredient rich in biopeptides derived from the yeast Pichia stipitis, which acts on transcompartmental communication. By regulating the molecular players involved in communication from the dermis to the epidermis (proteome, extracellular vesicles including exosomes, IGF-1 pathway), COMMUSYS^® reactivates epidermal biological functions. As a result, the skin of Caucasian and Asian volunteers is hydrated, smoothed and radiant.

SILAFILM^® Radiance, genuine radiance-boosting concentrate

SILAFILM^® Radiance is a radiance booster that concentrates the active ingredients OXYGESKIN^® and p-REFINYL^®. Once rehydrated, this natural and biodegradable film, resulting from the novel SILAFILM^® technology, releases the molecules rapidly and intensely into the skin. Its hydrating, smoothing and radiance-boosting effects are immediately visible. Used as a 28-day prolonged treatment, the film also has a firming and anti-wrinkle action. A true moment of relaxation and well-being, SILAFILM^® Radiance restores natural radiance to mature skin through a unique sensory and cosmetic experience.

SILAFILM^® Pureness, genuine radiance-boosting concentrate

SILAFILM^® Pureness is an anti-imperfection solution containing the active ingredient ACNESIUM^®. Once rehydrated, this natural and biodegradable film, resulting from SILAFILM^® technology, releases the molecules rapidly and intensely into the skin. Applied once or as a prolonged treatment (28 days), it has a sebum-regulating, an anti-microbial and a hydrating action. Its benefits are visible in Caucasian and Asian volunteers, accompanied by a sensation of freshness and general comfort. SILAFILM^® Pureness is the ideal treatment for oily skin prone to acne.
