SILAB Introduces MYOLINE®: A Natural Mineral Ingredient Redefining Skin Well-being

SILAB, a pioneer in innovative cosmetic ingredients, reveals MYOLINE®, an extraordinary natural relaxing active derived from the mineral richness found in watercress. Recognized for its "botox-like" properties and its ability to enhance overall skin well-being, MYOLINE® emerges as a solution tailored to skin affected by psychological stress.

Understanding Facial Stress Signals

The face serves as a canvas reflecting our emotional states, often bearing the brunt of stress. Facial muscle tension and the release of stress mediators in the skin contribute to the premature emergence of expression wrinkles and a lackluster complexion.

Unveiling the Power of Mineral Enrichment

In response to the unique needs of stressed skin, SILAB has harnessed the mineral potency of watercress to address both the behavioral and biological repercussions of stress.

MYOLINE® demonstrates a myorelaxing effect in vitro by targeting the neuromuscular junction. This efficacy translates into a "botox-like" impact in vivo. Within just five days of application, MYOLINE® noticeably smoothes the initial expression lines on youthful skin and softens the wrinkles on mature skin, akin to the effects achieved with professionally retouched photos ("soft focus" effect).

Promoting Skin Well-being

Beyond its aesthetic benefits, MYOLINE® influences the secretion of well-being mediators, activating the oxytocin and endocannabinoid pathways in the skin to enhance overall skin homeostasis. Volunteers reported reduced perception of stress, while their skin exhibited improved barrier function, increased hydration, and heightened complexion radiance.

Responsible Sourcing and Environmental Commitment

SILAB upholds a responsible strategy by prioritizing local, traceable, secure, and environmentally friendly sourcing. Employing an upcycling approach, the company processes quality watercress that would otherwise go unused in the food sector. The raw material's authenticity is assured through molecular barcoding, ensuring a secure supply chain.

In a bid to support the watercress farm, SILAB actively participates in constructing an industrial dryer. This not only guarantees the quality of supplied raw materials but also diversifies the farmer's activities.

Easy Formulation with Regulatory Compliance

MYOLINE® stands as a patented active ingredient, recommended at concentrations ranging from 0.5% to 2.0%. Available in an aqueous solution, it proves easy to formulate. Compliant with biodiversity regulations, MYOLINE® boasts a natural content of 99.2% (ISO 16128) and aligns with International Cosmetic Regulations across regions including Europe, the United States, China, Japan, and more.
