Silab wins ICIC Award for Inclusium

At the International Cosmetics Innovation Conference in Shanghai, Silab received the ICIC Award for its multifunctional natural active ingredient Inclusium, in the Raw Material Innovation category.  

To develop this active ingredient, Silab drew inspiration from inclusive beauty. The company used a unique approach, by identifying the main skin characteristics of consumers according to ethnicity, gender, and age. Three expectations stood out:

1. a beautiful skin quality
2. an even, radiant complexion
3. reduced signs of ageing.

To meet these expectations, Inclusium® boasts a cross-disciplinary spectrum of activity, stimulating the biological pathways essential to epidermal and dermal functionalities. 

A universal solution for all skin types

Brigitte Closs-Gonthier, chief executive officer and general manager of R&D, quality and communication at Silab, comments: “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 has chosen to consider the specific concerns of each ethnic group, which is why five clinical studies were specifically designed in consultation with experts from four different countries. We are pleased to receive this award, which recognises the extensive work we have put into developing a natural active ingredient capable of responding rapidly and over the long term to universal cosmetic expectations.” 

Thanks to its transversal efficacy, Inclusium offers a wide range of cosmetic benefits, enhancing the beauty of all skin types. Inclusium is available in South Africa from Meganede, Silab’s local agent.
