NEOLIPYL®, the new repairing natural active ingredient from SILAB, was awarded the 2nd prize during the PCHi Fountain Awards evening on March 18, as part of the Chinese PCHi exhibition, in the Skin Barrier Repair category.
NEOLIPYL® is a repairing natural active ingredient derived from cornflowers targeting lipid disorders of dry skin. It received the 2nd prize of the PCHi Fountain Awards, behind an ingredient from the Chinese company Shenzhen Dieckmann Biotechnology Co. Brigitte Closs-Gonthier, Chief Executive Officer at SILAB, comments: “We are very pleased to receive this award, which recognizes all the work we have done to decipher the characteristics of dry skin and offer an adapted solution. Indeed, to develop this active ingredient, we designed an unprecedented modeling study by leveraging our dual expertise in omics technologies, especially through lipidomic study, and optical biopsies. This enabled us to establish the lipid signature of dry skin for the first time: the results demonstrate weakened composition and structure of the lipid matrix.”
Tested on this model, NEOLIPYL® re-equilibrates this lipid matrix by acting on both its composition and structure, for hydrating and smoothing effects visible as of 14 days of application. In addition, combined with retinol on normal skin, it limits the adverse effects of this molecule and supports its cosmetic benefits.
A genuine lipid restructuring agent and natural partner of retinol, NEOLIPYL® is a patented active ingredient recommended in all cares intended for the skin barrier.
