Silk in Response to Chlorine

Chlorine for the Skin and Scalp: Much More Harmful Than We Think

When we think of hair damage, we usually consider the sun, hairdryers, or even pollution. However, chlorine is an often underestimated enemy, especially for regular swimmers. Whether you're a professional, an amateur, or a child enrolled in Wednesday swim lessons, chlorinated water affects both the scalp and the hair fiber. And this is true even when wearing a swimming cap, whether made of fabric or latex.

Why? Because no swimming cap is completely waterproof. Water seeps in, and the hair always comes out wet. This prolonged and repeated exposure to chlorine causes an imbalance in the scalp: irritation, dryness, itching, or even an excess of sebum as a defensive reaction. When it comes to hair fiber, it's a different story: chlorine opens the hair scales, increases its porosity, and makes the hair dull, brittle, and difficult to detangle.

At SILKBIOTIC Laboratories, we have developed a line of hair care products enriched with silk that rebalances and soothes the scalp while deeply restoring the hair fiber. These treatments are designed for everyone, regardless of age or hair type, because chlorine doesn't choose its targets. By supporting a club like Grenoble ALP'38, we also affirm our commitment to providing a concrete response to a very real need for swimmers of all kinds.

As for the skin, repeated exposure to chlorine irritates and weakens it: itching, dry and unbalanced skin, irritation, tightness, and exacerbation of eczema or atopic conditions.

To address this, SILKBIOTIC's facial care line offers a solution by rebalancing the skin's microbiome, its natural protective shield. All facial products from SILKBIOTIC Laboratories contain the patented SILKBIOME innovation. Additionally, depending on the product, more specific responses are provided with beneficial active ingredients such as niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, or aloe vera.

A Story of Territory

This partnership is also a story of roots. SILKBIOTIC is a brand born, made, and conceived in Grenoble, in the AURA region. This region is particularly rich in silk craftsmanship. Between Grenoble and Lyon is where the silk for SILKBIOTIC's pillowcases is woven.

This connection with Grenoble and its region could only be strengthened with a dynamic and emblematic sports structure like the Grenoble ALP'38 club, a local player engaged in youth training, sports excellence, and community life.

As a dermocosmetic brand, it was natural for us to support a local initiative, one that makes sense and resonates with our desire to move things forward while staying true to our origins.

Values That Emerge

A swimming club is not just about times and podiums. It is a school of life. It's where we learn to push our limits, to get back up after failure, and to find our way, whether we're a competitor at heart or a casual swimmer. The Grenoble ALP'38 club embodies these values: excellence, inclusivity, and transmission.

Three values that are also, deeply, those of SILKBIOTIC.

Excellence

In our formulation, in our strict quality control of ingredients, and in our obsession with scientific performance. Every product we create is the result of rigorous thought, a team effort between researchers.

Diversity

Our products suit all skin and hair types. Because beauty and care don't have one single face, we develop universal products that respect each individual and every age.

Transmission

The story of SILKBIOTIC is also one of heritage. That of Gérard Redziniak, a recognized biologist, who passed on his scientific knowledge and passion to his daughter, Fanny Redziniak, now co-founder of the brand. It is also the heritage of an ancient textile craft, the weaving of silk in France since the 14th century, which we honor through our ingredients.

It is thus only natural that we identify with the spirit of the club, where every swimmer has their place, where gestures, techniques, and experiences are shared. Like a relay between generations, between passionate people.

A Partnership That Makes Perfect Sense

By becoming the official sponsor of the Grenoble ALP'38 swimming club, SILKBIOTIC strengthens its commitments: to the health of swimmers' skin and hair, to territorial roots, and to a shared vision of self-improvement and thoughtful care.

This partnership is also a strong signal: it’s a brand that doesn't just offer products but is involved, on the ground, with those who move, swim, and live. Because care is also this: to accompany, protect, and enhance daily life.
