Outlining the profile of universal beauty
The emergence of the concept of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is re-prioritizing individual needs, ensuring that no individual is excluded or marginalized, and gradually introducing new dimensions to beauty. I was drawn to. This approach has now gone beyond skin color to encompass specific characteristics of each ethnic group, gender, or stage of life.
The study of these structural and functional skin idiosyncrasies has had a huge impact on dermatology, and the cosmetics industry has been encouraged to celebrate a more homogeneous, less codified, and less stereotyped “pluralistic beauty.” It’s done.
Recently, SILAB has developed a unique approach on this topic. The company identified consumers’ main skin characteristics according to ethnicity, gender and age to outline the contours of universal beauty. Three expectations stand out: beautiful skin quality (characterized by skin hydration and a fine skin texture that achieves smooth micro-textures), even and radiant skin (characterized by the prevention of post-inflammatory scars and skin aging); (no associated blemishes), and reduced signs of aging (thanks to firming skin and fading wrinkles).
These three axes are carried out by biological mechanisms acting in the dermis and epidermis. With this in mind, SILAB is excited about the multidisciplinary effectiveness of its latest multifunctional active ingredient INCLUSIUM.®.
Enhances the beauty of all skin types
Enriched with alfalfa galactomannan, this natural active ingredient stimulates biological pathways essential to epidermal and dermal function. Thanks to large-scale efforts,
Exploratory research shows that INCLUSIUM® Stimulates epidermal function by modulating physical and water barriers, immune barriers, and biological pathways associated with the anchoring of the epidermis to the dermis. It also enhances the quality of the dermal matrix by promoting the synthesis of collagen I and decreasing the synthesis of MMP-1. This cross-cutting activity spectrum of INCLUSIUM® Identified thanks to SILAB’s combined expertise in tissue engineering and transcriptomics.
Additionally, five clinical studies were specifically designed to demonstrate the performance of INCLUSIUM.® . Evaluated in mixed-gender groups including young and mature, Caucasian, Asian, Latino, and African American panels, this active ingredient shows its hydra-smoothing and skin-conditioning powers at 7 days of treatment. Thanks to this, it meets universal cosmetic expectations. Clinically proven anti-aging effect.
Alfalfa, a herbaceous plant with many virtues
To develop this natural active ingredient, SILAB used alfalfa seeds. Alfalfa is a plant native to Asia and has been cultivated around the world for thousands of years for both its nutritional and medicinal properties.
Two French cooperatives with several certified organic farms have been selected and contracted for cultivation. This strategy ensures the security and traceability of supplies right down to the parcel, while ensuring the economic sustainability of the supply chain.
The desired galactomannan was obtained by utilizing polysaccharides abundantly contained in alfalfa seeds. These were extracted using a targeted hydrolysis process, followed by a purification step to increase the purity of the desired active molecules. INCLUSIUM due to its potential efficacy demonstrated in various panels® A natural multifunctional active ingredient (99.2% naturally derived content (ISO16128)) that sublimates all types of skin.
