Profile
World leader in the engineering of natural active ingredients
Solutions for healthy skin - SILAB Cosmetics markets a catalog of more than 100 cosmetic natural active ingredients, with scientifically proven functional properties complying with international regulations. They are recognised on the global beauty market for their high level of scientific innovation.
Solutions for compromised skin - SILAB Soft care has a strong commitment to health. Intended for the dermo-cosmetic and dermatological markets, its active ingredients respond to cutaneous disorders (atopic dermatitis, acne, etc.) by reactivating the biological mechanisms of healthy skin according to three principles of excellence: Efficacy, Safety and Naturality.
A unique dry film technology
SILAFILM® is a revolutionary technology for delivering active ingredients to the skin. This technological innovation consists of a natural, biodegradable dry film, highly concentrated in active ingredients, which can be used by brands in the form of patches, strips, masks and more.
Activated on contact with water, this functionalized support releases active molecules rapidly and intensely into the depth of the skin. With this new technology, SILAB has expanded its offering with a new form for its natural active ingredients, that until then have been available in liquids or in preservative-free powders.
Corporate Social Responsibility
As a sustainable supplier of natural active ingredients and in line with its three founding values of independence, excellence, and quality, SILAB integrates social, environmental, and societal responsibility in all its activities.
The Actively Caring CSR program gathers daily sustainable actions and sets clear and ambitious objectives. Applied to all levels of activity, it is structured in five essential pillars:
- Sustainable strategy
- The development of human potential
- Responsible sourcing
- A preserved environment
- Support of communities

Latest Product Innovation
As a forerunner, SILAB is recognized worldwide as a specialist in the engineering of natural active ingredients and in the development of advanced phytotensors for the cosmetic industry. Driven by its high scientific expertise, SILAB launches several products each year to answer the current and future needs of its customers.
Natural active ingredients
DEOLYA® , THE DAILY DEO-CARE - DEOLYA® is a natural deodorant active ingredient derived from meadowsweet (Spiraea ulmaria L.), respectful of the axillary area skin physiology and providing dual efficacy. On the one hand, it limits perspiration odors by acting on Staphylococcus hominis, a bacterial species responsible for unpleasant odors. On the other hand, it relieves irritations by reducing inflammation and by strengthening the barrier function. A genuine hygiene and skin care active ingredient, DEOLYA® has an immediate and long-term deodorant action and provides a soothing effect daily and after shaving/epilation.

COMMUSYS® , A KEY PLAYER IN DERMIS-EPIDERMIS COMMUNICATION - COMMUSYS® is a natural anti-aging active ingredient rich in biopeptides derived from the yeast Pichia stipitis, which acts on transcompartmental communication. By regulating the molecular players involved in communication from the dermis to the epidermis (proteome, extracellular vesicles including exosomes, IGF-1 pathway), COMMUSYS® reactivates epidermal biological functions. As a result, the skin of Caucasian and Asian volunteers is hydrated, smoothed and radiant.

LIFTILIENCE® , THE FORCE OF A POLYVALENT TENSOR WITH OPTIMAL ADHESION - LIFTILIENCE® is a film-forming natural active ingredient obtained from a novel technology,
enabling functionalized helical biopolymers to be obtained from chestnuts. Thanks to this innovation, its tensor effect and adhesion properties have been optimized. A true beauty enhancer, LIFTILIENCE® smooths microrelief, enhances complexion radiance and improves skin softness. In addition, included in a foundation or a primer, it favors makeup holding power. This polyvalent tensor thus offers multiple rapid and long-lasting benefits for the face and body.

SILAFILM® RADIANCE, GENUINE RADIANCE BOOSTING CONCENTRATE - SILAFILM® Radiance is a radiance booster that concentrates the active ingredients OXYGESKIN® and p-REFINYL® . Once rehydrated, this natural and biodegradable film, resulting from the novel SILAFILM® technology, releases the molecules rapidly and intensely into the skin. Its hydrating, smoothing and radiance-boosting effects are immediately visible. Used as a 28-day prolonged treatment, the film also has a firming and anti-wrinkle action. A true moment of relaxation and well-being, SILAFILM® Radiance restores natural radiance to mature skin through a unique sensory and cosmetic experience.

SILAFILM® PURENESS, ANTI-IMPERFECTION CONCENTRATED CARE - SILAFILM® Pureness is an anti-imperfection solution containing the active ingredient ACNESIUM® . Once rehydrated, this natural and biodegradable film, resulting from SILAFILM® technology, releases the molecules rapidly and intensely into the skin. Applied once or as a prolonged treatment (28 days), it has a sebum-regulating, an anti-microbial and a hydrating action. Its benefits are visible in Caucasian and Asian volunteers, accompanied by a sensation of freshness and general comfort. SILAFILM® Pureness is the ideal treatment for oily skin prone to acne.
