Using advanced biotechnologies, Givaudan Active Beauty has developed an optimised sequence of silk proteins, produced through fermentation, to create Silk-iCare™ – a pure biomimetic silk with remarkable film-forming properties.
Silk-iCare™ forms an invisible yet robust film on the skin, providing immediate benefits in terms of protection and recovery. Upon application, it creates a uniform 3D fibrillar network on the skin’s surface, ensuring performance, with no residue or cracking on drying.
Its unique hydrogel structure, derived from natural silk, offers a thixotropic characteristic, resulting in a smoother application and a breathable, non-sticky finish.
The efficacy of Silk-iCare™ is immediate, offering anti-pollution and skin recovery benefits. Thanks to its physical mode of action, Silk-iCare™ forms a protective barrier that removes over 96% of pollution particles.
Clinical studies have demonstrated a significant seven-fold reduction in pore size, as little as 15 minutes after application. Over time, the skin-repairing properties of Silk-iCare™ trigger a two-fold reduction in inflammatory breakouts, perfecting skin.
“We are delighted to introduce Silk-iCare™, the pioneering vegan silk veil designed to protect and repair the skin. With its biomimetic structure, Silk-iCare™ emerges as a remarkable skin perfector, thanks to its exceptional film-forming properties. Acting like an invisible bandage, Silk-iCare™ delivers all-in-one anti-pollution, fast-repairing and make-up-fixing benefits.”
