EXFOLACTIVE®, scalp renewal care

EXFOLACTIVE® is a natural active ingredient whose exfoliating and hydrating efficacy has been demonstrated in facial and body care products. Based on these properties, SILAB now demonstrates its benefits in hair care products.

Boost natural exfoliation

The scalp and skin of the face share biological mechanisms essential for maintaining their physiological equilibrium, including desquamation. Ineffective desquamation of the scalp leads to the appearance of dandruff and is accompanied by dehydration that promotes irritation and itching.

In order to obtain an exfoliation that is gentle, physiological and with no adverse effects on the scalp, the natural active ingredient EXFOLACTIVE®, boosts the endogenous mechanisms of desquamation. Indeed, formulated at 0.5% in a lotion, it significantly stimulates the activity of KLK-5 (+74%) on the scalps of Caucasian volunteers.   

 

Favor the equilibrium of the scalp

As a result of its original mechanism of action, EXFOLACTIVE® reduces the quantity of dandruff by 26.1%, at the same time as significantly boosting hydration of the scalp by 13.8% after only 5 days of application. These effects continue or even increase after 14 days of daily application, when a significant reduction of sensations of stinging and general discomfort is observed. All these effects were also perceived by volunteers.

 

A raw material certified for organic agriculture, from a responsible and certified supplier

Opuntia ficus-indica

EXFOLACTIVE® was obtained from the flowers of nopal, an emblematic plant of arid zones widely recognized for its nutritional, medical and cosmetic benefits. In order to make optimal use of the complex polysaccharides in its flowers, SILAB has selected a secure Tunisian supplier with the Fair for Life certification. The partner selected by the company is committed to a responsible fair trade approach.

Available in aqueous solution, it is easy to formulate. It complies with biodiversity regulations and has a natural origin content higher than or equal to 99% (ISO 16128).
