Biomimicry offers a fundamental paradigm shift in cosmetic ingredient development, moving away from purely synthetic approaches towards those that are biologically relevant and inherently recognized by the skin. This leads to enhanced efficacy and a reduced potential for irritation, as the skin is more receptive to substances that mimic its own components and processes.

​

Plant endophytes represent a vast and largely untapped reservoir of biomimetic compounds. By combining the intelligence of endophytes with the precision of biotechnology, Provital’s Triplobiome technology serves as a compelling example of a dedicated platform, focuses on isolating endophytic strains of interest from plants, meticulously screening them for bioactivities relevant to skincare, and then selecting the most promising candidates for further development.

​

Shiloxome™ is the first cosmetic active ingredient to be successfully developed using the Triplobiome™ Technology. This innovative ingredient is derived from the endophytic yeast Kwoniella mangroviensis found within the bark of the cork oak (Quercus suber).

By showcasing the successful development and launch of Shiloxome™, Provital demonstrated its commitment to creating unique, high-value natural skincare ingredients that not only deliver efficacy but also align with the growing demand for science-backed and sustainable beauty solutions.
