Silab Launches Whitonyl  for Skin Depigmentation

Brown spots result directly from chronic exposure to sunlight. These pigment disorders accentuate with age and are a considerable esthetic problem. Silab proposes an improved complexion with the launch of Whitonyl, its new biological concept of skin depigmentation. Rich in xylose and galactose from palmaria palmata, a red algae, Whitonyl limits melanogenesis by inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase and the quantity of melanin synthesized; reduces the synthesis of the protein anchoring complex, indispensable for the transport of melanosomes to keratinocytes; inhibits the synthesis of Stem Cell Factor (SCF) thereby controlling photo-induced pigmentation. It is recommended for all lightening and depigmenting face and body care products.

Natural Sourcing Introduces Organic Jojoba

Natural Sourcing has launched a clear and odorless organic jojoba—INCI: Simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil—to its line of nutritive vegetable lipids for cosmeceutical uses. The long, straight-chain liquid wax esters are expeller-pressed from the seeds and then gently refined and decolorized to produce a virtually clear and odorless liquid that possesses all of the nutritive and stable properties of traditional jojoba.

Jojoba provides excellent non-occlusive, non-greasy moisture control. Studies confirm the effective use of jojoba as a natural anti-inflammatory ingredient in skin care. Furthermore, the high content of natural tocopherols and the absence of polyunsaturated components give jojoba a remarkably high oxidative stability index.
