Néré seeds: a sustainable source for skin hydration

Consumers and, increasingly, the global cosmetics market are currently focusing on hydrating skin care products containing natural ingredients of controlled origin.

Silab has responded to current market demands by creating a responsible, traced and controlled supply chain for néré seeds in Burkina Faso. Just as the tree has developed an effective strategy to maintain a constant supply of water in spite of an arid environment, Nerenyl® (INCI name: Saccharide Hydrolysate; SH), a natural, eco-designed and biomimetic cosmetic active ingredient, boosts skin hydration.

Two very important expectations of the cosmetics market are hydration and controlled origin1 and are therefore obligatory requisites for developing innovating active ingredients. 

It is in this context that Silab began work on the néré, a characteristic and widespread tree in Burkina Faso that can withstand long periods of drought. Using the néré tree’s natural robustness and resistance to drought, Silab has developed a biomimetic ingredient dedicated to barrier function strengthening and hydration of dry skin. Rich in biosaccharides from néré seeds, Nerenyl® (INCI name: Saccharide Hydrolysate; SH) is obtained with a responsible, traced and controlled supply chain in Burkina Faso.
