Silab (stand D80) introduces Filmexel, a natural, protective and lifting film composed of a network of natural glycopolymers derived from glactomannans of Caesalpinia spinosa and sulfated galactans of Kappaphycus alvarezii. This powder material is soluble in water, easy to formulate in skin and makeup products, and provides dramatic results at low use levels, according to Silab. In a test of 1,100 volunteers 98% felt the tensor benefits nearly immediately.

New Mitokinyl is said to protect fragile skin against urban stresses and is recommended in all anti-pollution facial and body skin care products. Rich in glucomannans, the material is said to regulate two major biological pathways of pollutant stress response: the synthesis of mitokines is normalized and the aryl-hydrocarbon receptor is deactivated. Moreover, it forms a stratified barrier, and optimizes complexion tone and radiance in Caucasian and Asian volunteers.
