Silk-iCare is a revolutionary vegan silk protein designed to protect and repair the skin. Derived from white biotechnology, it represents a breakthrough in biomimetic silk protein technology, offering unparalleled benefits for perfecting skin.
Using advanced biotechnologies, Givaudan Active Beauty has developed an optimised sequence of silk proteins, produced through fermentation, to create Silk-iCare™ – a pure biomimetic silk with remarkable film-forming properties.
Silk-iCare forms an invisible yet robust film on the skin, providing immediate benefits in terms of protection and recovery. Upon application, it creates a uniform 3D fibrillar network on skin’s surface, ensuring performance, with no residue or cracking on drying. Its unique hydrogel structure, derived from natural silk, offers a thixotropic characteristic, resulting in a smoother application and a breathable, non-sticky finish.
Immediately effective
The efficacy of Silk-iCare is immediate, offering anti-pollution and skin recovery benefits. Thanks to its physical mode of action, Silk-iCare forms a protective barrier that removes over 96% of pollution particles.
Clinical studies have demonstrated a significant seven-fold reduction in pore size, as little as 15 minutes after application. Over time, the skin-repairing properties of the vegan silk protein trigger a two-fold reduction in inflammatory breakouts, perfecting skin.
“We are delighted to introduce Silk-iCare, a pioneering vegan silk veil designed to protect and repair the skin”, comments Romain Reynaud, Research & Development Director. “With its biomimetic structure, Silk-iCare emerges as a remarkable skin perfector, thanks to its exceptional film-forming properties. Acting like an invisible bandage, it delivers all-in-one anti-pollution, fast-repairing and make-up-fixing benefits.”
Silk-iCare is available in South Africa from The Care Co., which is an approved distributor of Givaudan Active Beauty.
