Silab reveals film former efficacy data


Silab has published efficacy data about Liftilience, a film-forming natural active ingredient derived from fully traceable organic chestnuts. The French maker studied the


rapid lifting effect of the product formulated at 0.32% in a gel on the face.


The results show that Liftilience


significantly lifts crow’s feet wrinkles as of 15 minutes after a single application. In addition, four hours after having


applied a gel formula containing 0.16% Liftilience to the thighs, skin firmness is significantly increased by 5%, skin elasticity by 8% and skin tone by 34%. Also, after 21 days of twice-daily


application, Liftilience provides an anti-wrinkle effect by significantly smoothing forehead wrinkles (-11%). A significant effect is also


observed on complexion radiance (reflection: +14%; pink colour: +17%; olive colour: -14%; state of the eye fatigue: -17%).


In a related development,


Silab has also revealed fresh efficacy data about its Oxygeskin natural active ingredient derived from the nasturtium flower, which revives complexion radiance by reinvigorating skin oxygenation. When tested at 0.25% on aged


human fibroblasts, it significantly reduces the expression of miRNAs repressing the biological pathways of oxygenation (HIF-1α) and cellular energy production (ATP).


Silab also investigated its effect on the body; to this end, the active ingredient was applied at 1% to the thighs. After 14 days of twice


daily application, a parameter characteristic of skin oxygenation was significantly increased by 4.5%.
