The anti-senescence ally to defy the marks of time

Senevisium is a natural anti-aging active ingredient derived from Ginkgo biloba, capable of reactivating the natural elimination of senescent fibroblasts by the immune system. A true concentrate of longevity, it acts transversally on the dermis and the epidermis for an anti-wrinkle action and a rapid radiance booster effect.

Senescence, a central factor in aging, is controlled by the immune system, which efficiently identifies and eradicates senescent cells that are harmful to the skin environment. Nevertheless, some senescent fibroblasts deploy immuno-evasion strategies over time to avoid being eliminated.

Through original modeling studies in vitro and in vivoSilab has shown that the immunoevasion mechanism is accentuated at the skin level after 60 years of age, leading to profound changes (wrinkles, dullness, loss of elasticity and age spots).

Through its targeted action, Senevisium is able to restore the natural elimination of immunoevasive senescent fibroblasts by the immune system by thwarting their two immunoevasion pathways.

By allowing deleterious immunoevasive senescent fibroblasts to be recognized and eliminated again, Senevisium protects the skin from their deleterious effects on matrix synthesis and epidermal renewal.

Tested at 2% on Caucasian volunteers, Senevisium allows the skin to recover its density and elasticity. The stage of wrinkles is reduced and the radiance of the complexion is enhanced. The volunteers themselves confirm these results since, after 28 days of treatment, 100% of them find their skin firmer, and their complexion clearer and more even.

Silab was inspired by the extraordinary ability of the Ginkgo biloba to defy the passage of time and the power of the immune system of this supercentennial tree with a unique anti-aging biological heritage.

Its leaves have been used to restore the capacity of the immune system of mature skin to eliminate senescent cells.

Two French farms (Champagne, Ardèche) of Ginkgo bilobacertified organic and biodiversity-friendly, have been selected for the supply of green leaves.

Senevisium is a patented active ingredient recommended in all skin care products dedicated to mature skin at a dose of 0.5 to 2.0%. Available in aqueous solution, it is easy to formulate. It complies with biodiversity regulations and has a natural origin content of 98.8% (Iso 16128). It complies with international cosmetic regulations (Europe, United States, China, Japan, etc.).

The Verpack group accompanies the launch of the Telma 01 product on the market

For the Telma 01, this nomadic product that soothes women's ailments, the Verpack group has worked in partnership to create a case that has a strong identity and lasts, in total respect of its image.

 "Doing as expected", this phrase sums up the product's commitment. Telma 01 enters the market with the ambition of soothing menstrual discomfort. Its relaxing and anti-inflammatory virtues rest on the conjunction of 7 active ingredients, selected for their proven effectiveness, in a formula 100 % natural with multiple certifications. The product is presented in the form of a roll-on bottle, with anti-UV lacquered glass, and equipped with a pink quartz ball.

To ensure its durability, the Verpack group has designed a highly resistant case with a custom-designed inner wedge that offers real savings in cardboard. For the decorations and printing, the Verpack site in Nouvelle-Aquitaine proposed inks that were partly biosourced. The challenge of this stage was to give back to the red color its light and its density without multiplying the passes.

"In Verpack we have found the ideal partner for the launch of the Telma 01. The case successfully fulfills its contract over the entire life of the product. Users keep it for storage and take it with them wherever they go. This was our goal"explains Virginie, Telma's brand manager.

The new electric diffuser for Serge Lutens perfume is developed by Scentys

Scentys, the French expert in fragrance diffusion since 2004, has been chosen by the Serge Lutens perfume house to design and produce an electric diffuser that best meets the various challenges concerning the quality of diffusion and the restitution of fragrances in the air, without compromising on the aesthetics of the product.

Since its creation, Serge Lutens, the forerunner of confidential perfumery, has been offering its customers an unparalleled olfactory experience. This philosophy is in line with our desire to put technology at the service of perfume. Each fragrance is perfectly reproduced thanks to our proprietary technology: a capsule made of perfume beads that slides into the diffuser for a dry and faithful diffusion. "Pierre Loustric, President of Scentys

Scentys, a pioneer in new fragrance diffusion processes, has patented a dry diffusion solution by encapsulating a pure fragrance concentrate in polymer beads. The brand relies on a very strict specification in full compliance with international regulations, which allows a perfect rendering of the original fragrance.

Thanks to its partnership with Scentys, Serge Lutens invites itself into the home with new essences created specifically for the "At Home" collection. Five capsules made of perfume beads, developed by Scentys to slip easily into the diffuser and diffuse one of the five fragrances:

  • The Scottish house " Dry stones, wool and leather
  • The Arab house "The palace of the sands
  • The Arab garden "Mesk-el-laïl
  • The Japanese house "The lady of Heian
  • The linen cupboard

The diffuser and fragrance capsules are available with the entire "At Home" range in Serge Lutens' boutiques and online since November 2022.

ICCS: for a cosmetic science without animals

A global collaboration of cosmetics and chemical industry experts will work with animal protection NGOs to accelerate the widespread use of non-animal science through research, education and regulatory engagement.

Today, more than 35 cosmetics manufacturers and suppliers, industry associations and animal welfare organizations announced the launch of the International Collaboration on Cosmetics Safety (ICCS) to ensure that animal-free methods are accepted and used by all those involved in cosmetics safety testing. ICCS will support innovation in animal-free cosmetic products and ingredients by funding the rigorous scientific evaluation of new animal-free safety assessment methods. It will share the results of these evaluation activities with cosmetic and chemical authorities and fund training and education activities to help build confidence in animal-free safety assessment methods.

We have seen significant scientific advances in the development, evaluation, and use of animal-free methods to assess safety over the past few decades, said Erin Hill, President and CEO of CBCI. The ICCS brings together scientists from leading organizations around the world to build on this momentum and work toward our shared ambition of a future where no ingredients or products are tested on animals. The ICCS is a global collaboration focused on animal-free science for cosmetics and their ingredients, which currently face unique challenges and inconsistent global regulations. I am honored to lead the organization at such an important time. "

Hill joins CBCI from the Institute for In Vitro Sciences (IIVS), which she co-founded in 1997 and most recently served as president. IIVS is a non-profit research and testing laboratory dedicated to the use and acceptance of non-animal test methods worldwide. Ms. Hill brings extensive knowledge to the role of President and Executive Director of ICCS, having worked collaboratively with stakeholders to provide education and training in animal-free testing methods. Her position at ICCS will allow her to leverage the resources of IIVS and other members to create programs specifically designed to advance the acceptance of these new approaches for cosmetics and their ingredients.

ICCS will work with existing organizations to:

  • Evaluate and further develop animal-free safety assessment methods and demonstrate their scientific validity for human health and environmental protection. 
  • Share the results of these evaluation activities with regulators to inform ongoing discussions on regulatory acceptance around the world.
  • Provide education and training materials to accelerate widespread adoption the latest scientific findings in animal-free safety.

Through these efforts, ICCS strives to promote animal-free methods for cosmetic product and ingredient innovation worldwide.

The safety of the cosmetic products that consumers use and trust every day is our top prioritysaid John Chave, interim chairman of the ICCS board of directors and managing director of Cosmetics Europe. Through the evolution of scientific methods, we can ensure that safety assessments of cosmetics and personal care products are conducted in a rigorous and ethical manner without animal testing. There is still much work to be done as science advances, and multiple research projects are already underway at CBCI to advance animal-free scientific methods. "

The cosmetics industry and animal welfare organizations have been at the forefront of the development, evaluation and use of animal-free safety assessment methods for nearly 40 years. In particular, they have contributed significantly to the replacement of regulatory animal testing to address skin irritation, genetic toxicology, eye irritation and skin sensitization through innovative in silico and in vitro methodologies.

Today, while animal-free research and scientific methods have advanced, many policies and regulations still require animal test data and have not yet incorporated the rapid advances in the application of innovative animal-free science to safety assessment. This leads to a need for animal data, even when viable alternatives exist. CBCI aims to bridge this gap by understanding the regulatory needs and providing sound scientific solutions based on innovative animal-free approaches.
