In collaboration with the CNRS in Montpellier

The Pr Gérard Redziniak, co-founder of the brand and great innovator in dermocosmetic cares, leads the scientific program of the Laoratoires SILKBIOTIC, in collaboration with the CNRS in Montpellier. With the Pr Bégu's team, he surrounded himself with the best french researchers to revolutionize the cares of tomorrow, thanks to the silk cocoon proteins: sericin and fibroin.

A research in collaboration with the CNRS in Montpellier

This scientific collaboration between the CNRS in Montpellier and the Laboratoires SILKBIOTIC gathers the best researchers in biomaterial and in cosmetic innovations.

The team of Pr. Sylvie Bégu co-develops the cares of tomorrow thanks to extracts of silk proteins, sericin and fibroin. This expertise globably recognized in galenic pharmacies, biomaterials and cosmetology lie at the heart of all our innovations.

1. Silk for skincare: regenerating and protecting

Several years of scientific researches confirm that the properties of fibroin and sericin are remarkably close to collagen and elastin, two skin proteins. Silk proteins have the power of enhancing protection, healing and cellular regeneration.

Our patented breakthrough: the SILKBIOME complex™

The Laboratoires SILKBIOTIC stand out for having developed the very first silk-based patented complex: the SILKBIOME complex™. This innovative complex lies on the exclusive association of silk proteins, prebiotics and postbiotics in order to guarantee a triple action on skin and scalp:

  • Rebalancing the skin microbiota
  • Favoring cellular regeneration
  • Protecting the skin with a "super-shield" effect

Thanks to the SILKBIOME Complex, skin and scalp regain their original balance. The health of skin and hair is found again.

2. Silk for hair: repairing and transforming

Fibroin and sericin play a role of active ingredients. Silk proteins enhance hair vitality and strength. Silk amino acids boost the moisturizing effect of a formula and give a incomparable smooth sensation to the hair fiber. A recent study shows particularly interesting approaches in the stimulation of hair follicles, that can improve treatments against hair loss.

Our discovery: rebalancing and reinforcing the hair with a silk routine

It is thanks to the SILKBIOME Complex, applied as a serum on the scalp, that the hair heath is found again. In order to mainting the scalp balance, the shampoo containing the SILKBIOME Complex is a cleansing care that respects the scalp microbiota.

With this silk-based hair routine, the hair, even the most weakened and sensitized, regain balance, health and strength.

3. Silk as an active ingredient, issued from a sustainable and responsible field

This part of the program of common research with the CNRS in Montpellier explores the fundamental properties of silk amino acids. We work at the molecular scale of silk to find other components for dermosmetic cares and hair cares. We develop a sustainable and responsible silk field, to offer care alway healthier and more efficient.
