On Wednesday, November 20, 2024, on the sidelines of the Making Cosmetics show in Milan, Silab's Commusys natural anti-aging active won the Wise Ingredients Award in the Active Ingredients.
Composed of biopeptides from the yeast Pichia stipitis, grown in Silab's biotechnology plant, this active ingredient offers, according to the company, an innovative anti-aging solution with moisturizing, smoothing and radiance-boosting effects.
Its trump card: its ability to re-establish dermal-epidermal communication altered by aging.
In developing this active ingredient, Silab paid particular attention to trans-compartmental communication between dermis and epidermis during the aging process, an essential component in ensuring skin longevity.
A modeling study in vitro according to Silab, has enabled us to map for the first time the mediators involved in dermal-epidermal communication, and to demonstrate their deregulation during aging.
The resulting lack of communication alters the biological functions of the epidermis. Silab emphasizes that, thanks to Commusys, the molecular players involved in communication from the dermis to the epidermis are regulated and epidermal functions reactivated.
"Commusys brings together several of our areas of expertise: our in-depth knowledge of skin biology, of course, but also our ability to select and valorize natural peptides, and our cutting-edge mastery of biotechnologies. We have our own biotechnology production unit, enabling us to cultivate yeasts, microalgae and bacteria on a large scale, whose fascinating properties open up access to unique molecules of interest. We are delighted to receive this award, which highlights these three Silab signatures and underlines the scientific innovation behind this asset".comments Brigitte Closs-Gonthier, Chairman of the Board and General Manager in charge of R&D, quality and communications at Silab.
