On Thursday April 25, at the International Cosmetics Innovation Conference (Icic) in Shanghai, Silab won the Icic Award in the Raw Material Innovation category for its Inclusium multifunctional natural active ingredient.
Inclusium is a multifunctional natural active ingredient that stimulates the biological pathways essential to epidermal and dermal functionality. To develop this ingredient, Silab turned its attention to inclusive beauty. The company began by taking stock of consumers' main skin characteristics in terms of ethnicity, gender and age.
Three expectations stand out: beautiful skin quality, an even, radiant complexion and reduced signs of aging. To meet these needs, Inclusium offers a broad spectrum of cosmetic benefits to enhance all skin types.
"The development of this active ingredient called on a wide range of in-house expertise, including tissue engineering and omics. But it was above all from a clinical point of view that the work was colossal. Silab chose to take into account the specific concerns of each ethnic group, which is why five clinical studies were specifically designed in consultation with experts from four different countries, explains
Brigitte Closs-Gonthier, Chairman of the Board and General Manager in charge of R&D, quality and communications at Silab. We're delighted to receive this award, which recognizes the extensive work we've done to develop a natural active ingredient capable of meeting universal cosmetic expectations, both quickly and over the long term.
The company states on its website that this ingredient meets universal cosmetic expectations thanks to its hydra-smoothing and complexion-perfecting properties after seven days of application, and its clinically-proven anti-ageing effect.
