Optimising lipid organisation, reinforcing epidermal cohesion and activating keratinocyte differentiation are the three biological mechanisms involved in skin hydration homeostasis.
Silab has developed Cohesium, a repairing and moisturising active ingredient, rich in purified ophiopogon tuber fructosans.
Cohesium normalises the barrier function.
An original study shows that Cohesium stimulates the natural synthesis of lipids and optimises their organisation. For the first time, the molecular signature for very dry skin was established and compared with that of normal skin, proving the benefits of Cohesium on epidermal lipid organisation. In addition, it has a positive action on the formation of tight junctions and keratinocyte differentiation.
Cohesium contributes to skin hydration by increasing the levels of NMFs (Natural Active repairs and moisturises skin Moisturising Factors), true biological humectants for the stratum corneum. Therefore, Cohesium maintains an effective epidermal barrier and ensures tailored skin hydration.
Cohesium improves comfort and protection and is recommended in any moisturising and restructuring care for all skin types.
