Currently, almost 70% of the population declares having the characteristics of sensitive skin: tingling, tightness, redness or other discomfort sensations.

This is a transient state of the skin that can affect all skin types (dry, oily, mature, etc.) and that can be exacerbated by pollution, sunlight and stress. It is a universal phenomenon that can be considered as the most widespread skin disorder in industrialized countries.

In 2020, Mintel identified 7,402 launches of care products “for sensitive skin”, 21% more than in 2018. This finding has drawn the attention of the major facial care markets in Asia, Europe and the United States. Its positioning has progressively blurred the line between beauty, health and skin comfort.

COVID-19 has heightened preoccupations concerning the safety of cosmetic products and has resulted in increasing preference for products that are well tolerated by sensitive skin. The widespread use of masks and hand sanitizers has augmented the demand for safe cosmetics adapted to sensitive skin.

Studies on attenuating skin sensitivity have shown that the consumption of super-foods such as certain seeds had an impact on the skin quality. This inside-out tendency has not lost any time in influencing the field of cosmetics.

The seeds of flax and cotton are genuine natural treasures for relief to sensitive skin as a result of their soothing properties known for many years and their relationship to the universe of care and softness.

SILAB has used its expertise to extract and purify the benefits of the seeds of flax and cotton to develop SENSILINE^® and HELIOMODULINE^®, two natural, soothing active ingredients developed to provide the skin with good health and well-being.

Extracted from brown flax, known for its emollient and anti-inflammatory properties, the acid polysaccharides and peptidoglycans of SENSILINE^® combine their effects to prevent, or at least limit irritation phenomena. SENSILINE^® prevents inflammatory “damage” by inhibiting the initial steps of the irritation process. It deposits a satiny protective microfilm in depth, where it prevents the stimulation of receptors and the programming of cells involved in the inflammatory cascade.
Active ingredient available in certified organic version

Rich in non-GMO cottonseeds peptides, HELIOMODULINE^® stimulates the natural mechanisms of skin cell repair. This active ingredient is recommended for all sun care products and anti-age prevention because it limits cell aging of photoexposed skin and reduces the risks of inflammation and erythema.
