Michel Limongi adopts the iconic COSMOGEN brush
Architect and beauty designer Michel Limongi has adopted Cosmogen's iconic Fan brush, which he will present at amakeup telier on the Cosmogen stand #J36 on Thursday, June 22 at 3:30 p.m. on the salon Make Up in Paris.
In addition to its aesthetic appeal, this double-fan brush with its double bristle length has been specifically designed by Cosmogen engineers. Its easy grip inspires a new, supple gesture that naturally tames facial contours, revealing areas of light and shadow with natural elegance. All Face Fan, as Michel Limongi calls it, is the magician of complexion brushes.
''This double-sided fan required the creation of an innovative make-up method to achieve all complexion styles: bronzing, blush, strobing, contouring, natural complexion. For me, this double-fan brush is the perfect answer to the difficulties all women face: pressing too hard, picking up too much color, smudging. Its "zero matter" pressure control makes make-up natural, easy, spotless and streak-free" comments Michel Limongi.
Technical specifications : Nose: 2 lengths of synthetic fibers; Handle: PS; Decoration: silk-screen printing
Silab's Algophagyl protects mitochondria for revitalized skin
Algophagyl is a new, energizing natural active ingredient capable of preserving mitochondrial balance and function, restoring radiance and vitality to the skin.
The mitochondrion is the sole generator of cellular energy. Chronic or acute stress can cause it to malfunction, with deleterious effects on the skin.
With Algophagyl, Silab offers an innovative active ingredient that acts on three mitochondrial defense levers:
- mitochondrial quality control ;
- mitochondrial dynamics ;
- mitophagy.
In good health, mitochondria produce the energy needed for cell renewal and the establishment of a dynamic, effective skin barrier.
After 28 days of twice-daily applications and compared to placebo, Algophagyl brightened the skin of Caucasian and Asian volunteers, with a significant increase in L* and ITA° parameters, characteristic of lighter, brighter skin.
In addition to brightening the skin, the active ingredient also acts on the complexion's radiance.
After 14 days of twice-daily applications and in comparison with placebo, Algophagyl formulated at 2% in emulsion :
- improves skin radiance by 5.3% ;
- revives the pink color, characteristic of a fresh complexion, of 7.7% ;
- decreases olive color by 6.1% ;
- reduces eye fatigue by 7.1%.
This effect continues after 28 days of application.
A subjective evaluation by volunteers confirms these data: 100% of them find their skin revitalized, brighter and more supple.
Because microalgae are the origin of life, Silab's research has focused on their metabolic and adaptogenic properties to protect mitochondria.
Rich in glucans and galactans, Algophagyl (INCI name : Chlorella sorokiniana Extract) is derived from the microalgae Chlorella sorokinianaproduced industrially in Silab's biotechnology unit. Growing this microalgae heterotrophically, i.e. in the absence of light, requires it to synthesize specific molecules of interest with high added value.
Obtained through a non-denaturing manufacturing process, Algophagyl is a patented active ingredient, available in aqueous solution (recommended dose: 0.5 to 2%), and compliant with the main cosmetics regulations (Europe, United States, Japan).
