New Liftilience film former by Silab

With its optimised tensor effect and adhesion properties, LIFTILIENCE® is a sixth generation polyvalent tensor from SILAB. It offers multiple, rapid and long-lasting cosmetic benefits for the face and body.  

LIFTILIENCE® is a natural active ingredient with film-forming properties. It is derived from chestnuts and obtained using a unique technology. The ingredient provides a rapid and long-lasting effect, demonstrated in both the face and body care and makeup categories.  

As a beauty enhancer, it acts from the first minutes of application on the face. The skin is significantly smoother and the complexion more luminous and fresher, favouring a healthy-glow effect visible throughout the day. These benefits are perceived by the volunteers themselves, who reported that their skin was smoother, more attractive and more radiant at the end of the day. A soft sensation similar to that of velvet is also perceived on the body up to four hours after application.  

When used in foundation or primer formulas, LIFTILIENCE® acts as a makeup perfector. It significantly increases the holding power of foundation and eyeshadow for up to six hours after application, thereby limiting the need to reapply makeup.

Optimised tensor effect and adhesion properties   

As demonstrated by its numerous cosmetic benefits, LIFTILIENCE® offers a powerful tensor effect and an increased adhesion. These properties are conferred by a unique technology, the FHB technology®*, resulting from SILAB’s expertise in biopolymerisation. Combining controlled hydrolysis and addition of ionic charges, this technological innovation enables specifically selected native biopolymers to be converted into functionalised helical biopolymers.  

Traceable supply of chestnut  

SILAB has selected the chestnut as raw material for LIFTILIENCE® and has chosen to sustain a local partnership with producers certified for organic agriculture. The company guarantees rigorous traceability back to the plot of land and is committed to virtuous agriculture that complies with good farming practices and protects ecosystems. 

LIFTILIENCE® is a patented active ingredient recommended in all tensor care products at a dose of 0.16 to 0.64%. Available in a preservative-free powder format, it is easy to formulate. The ingredient complies with biodiversity regulations and has a natural origin content of 100% (ISO 16128). It also complies with international cosmetics regulations (Europe, USA, China, Japan, etc.). 

LIFTILIENCE® is available in South Africa from Meganede.
