Mitokines, a novel target for an innovative anti-pollution strategy

Mitokines, recently identified genuine mitochondrial sentinels, are at the core of a cellular communication and defense strategy to combat stress. Increasing daily exposure to internal and/or external air pollution has harmful health impacts, in particular disruption of skin homeostasis.

MITOKINYL^®, the interactive solution to harmful urban pollution

To combat pollution, a true enemy of the skin, SILAB is offering MITOKINYL^®, an anti-pollution natural active ingredient rich in glucomannans and able to combat harmful environmental stress via a unique regulation pathway.

SILAB Research is the first laboratory to identify the central role of mitokines in an optimum anti-pollution strategy. Thanks to a sophisticated intracellular communication mechanism, these mediators, released by mitochondria under the effects of pollution, connect the skin to its environment and initiate an appropriate anti-stress response.
