Adaptonyl is a natural anti-stress active ingredient proposed by Silab, derived from the ayurvedic plant ashwagandha, capable of acting on all factors of the skin exposome. In 2022, Silab proposes a more transversal approach to its protective active launched in 2006, with new efficacy data in vitro and in vivo.
The skin is particularly exposed to environmental stress (temperature changes, solar aggression, air pollution) and lifestyle stress (poor diet, smoking, psychological stress, lack of sleep). Grouped together under the term cutaneous exposome, all these factors profoundly disrupt the skin's homeostasis, thus contributing to its aging, as demonstrated by a groundbreaking modeling study by Silab.
Adaptonyl acts on all skin exposure factors, whether environmental or lifestyle-related. In the face of damage to the epidermis and dermis, it reduces markers of oxidative and inflammatory stress, and boosts cellular metabolism.
Anti-stress effect
According to Silab, Adaptonyl's cosmetic efficacy is rapid, from 14 days of application, and is demonstrated on a panel of volunteers selected for their particular exposure to the exposome, and their dull complexion.
Adaptonyl formulated with 2 % reinforces the barrier function and improves skin microrelief. The active ingredient also refines skin texture and revives the complexion's radiance. These effects have been confirmed by volunteers, more than 85% of whom found their skin smoother, more resistant and more radiant.
An ayurvedic plant with adaptogenic properties
Adaptonyl is composed of oligosaccharides derived from the roots of ashwagandha (Withania somnifera). This small shrub is used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine, notably for its adaptogenic stress-resistance properties (plant rasayana).
Silab has chosen secure sourcing from India, the cradle of Ayurveda. This supply chain is traced right down to the plot, and complies with ABS (Access and Benefit Sharing) regulations under the Nagoya Protocol.
For its transversal action against the skin exposome, Adaptonyl is recommended in all protective skin care products at a dose of 1 to 4 %. Available in aqueous solution, it is easy to formulate. It complies with biodiversity regulations and has a natural origin content of 99% (ISO 16128). It complies with international cosmetics regulations (Europe, USA, China, Japan, etc.).
