Provital, globally recognized for its innovations in cosmetic ingredients, introduced at IFSCC 2024 the launch of Shiloxome™, the first active ingredient from the revolutionary TripleBiome™ platform. The new ingredient, extracted from an endophytic yeast found in the bark of the cork oak (Quercus suber), offers exceptional skin protection based on a symbiotic origin. Shiloxome™ enhances the skin's ability to adapt, resist, and defend itself against external factors, while stimulating collagen production and acting on various layers of the skin, activating its natural functions.
“TripleBiome™ marks a significant advancement in our pursuit of highly effective biotechnological ingredients with a high level of naturalness,” highlights Roberto Monteiro, CEO of Provital Brazil, commenting on the launch.
The role of symbiotic microorganisms
After years of research, the Provital team identified symbiotic microorganisms, called endophytes, found within plants like the cork oak. These microorganisms play a crucial role in the plant’s well-being, helping to defend against environmental stressors and stimulating growth. Inspired by this symbiotic relationship, Provital developed the TripleBiome™ platform, which uses active fractions of these endophytes to create exclusive postbiotic compounds.
Roberto Monteiro explains that the isolation and fermentation of these microorganisms enable the creation of compounds that can be directly incorporated into cosmetic formulas. “This unique approach allows Provital to introduce new mechanisms of action into the global cosmetic market, exploring both preventive benefits and skin treatments, always focusing on complete and sustainable solutions,” emphasizes the executive.

The innovation, presented at global fairs throughout 2024, including IFSCC, has already been awarded by various high-level scientific entities and congresses. These recognitions reinforce Provital’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of cosmetic science, focusing on solutions that combine high performance and sustainability. Provital thus solidifies its innovative and bold positioning, offering the market effective solutions that blend nature and science, meeting the demands of the modern consumer.
