Profile
World leader in the engineering of natural active ingredients
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 recognised 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.
A unique dry film technology - SILAFILM® is a revolutionary technology for delivering active ingredients to the skin. This technological innovation consists of a natural, biodegradable dry film, highly concentrated in active ingredients, which can be used by brands in the form of patches, strips, masks and more.
Activated on contact with water, this functionalized support releases active molecules rapidly and intensely into the depth of the skin. With this new technology, SILAB has expanded its offering with a new form for its natural active ingredients, also available as liquids or in preservative-free powders.

Natural active ingredients
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.
EXFOLACTIVE® , SCALP RENEWAL CARE - EXFOLACTIVE® is an exfoliating natural active ingredient obtained from the flowers of nopal. With its original mechanism of action boosting the endogenous processes of desquamation (KLK-5), it represents a true natural alternative to mechanical or chemical exfoliants. Thanks to this gentle, physiological exfoliation with no adverse effects on the scalp, it reduces the quantity of dandruff as of 5 days of application and provides hydration and comfort to the scalp. These benefits intensify after 14 days of application and are perceived by volunteers themselves.
