Codex Beauty Labs Shaant Collection
"Increasing levels of stress in our society, stress, poor quality sleep, rising pollution, as well as unhealthy eating and alcohol habits have all contributed to increased acne in both teenagers and adults. Through Ayurvedic plant databases in India, we have identified actives that address two root causes, namely sebum overproduction, and accumulation of dead skin cells in pores," says Dr. Barb Paldus, Founder and CEO of Codex Beauty Labs. "Shaant also leverages our patented PreservX™ preservation system that supports microbiome health – so we are proud that Shaant is the first MyMicrobiome-certified collection for acne-prone skin."
The Shaant products were formulated in partnership with Dr. Raja Sivamani, an integrative dermatologist and certified Ayurvedic practitioner, and leverage biotech-manufactured plant stem cells from Indian plants long valued by Ayurvedic healers for their calming, soothing and balancing properties.
"I am committed to individualizing patient care and my passion for practical research. By integrating concepts from Ayurvedic medicine, plant sciences, and food sciences, I look to push the boundaries of integrative therapies to make them better for our patients and to better educate those around me. This is the philosophy behind the Shaant skincare collection for acne-prone skin: Ayurvedic plants, such as gotu kola or patchouli, that have been vetted with Western scientific tools, like their effect on gene expression in skin cells and clinical tests on patients with acne." Dr. Sivamani added, "I always love to try to bridge the Ayurvedic principles into the western principles. The way Ayurveda looks at the body is slightly different, but actually it really beautifully integrates with the western approach when you start building these bridges. Shaant is a great example of this confluence."
The collection will launch in two phases:
Cosmetic Phase with four topical products:
Balancing Foaming Cleanser decongests pores without stripping moisture
Refining Toner hydrates, soothes irritation, and minimizes pores
Balancing Clay Mask aborbs excess oil, cleans pores, and deeply exfoliates
Balancing Oil Control Cream mattifies oiliness and smoothes skin texture
OTC Phase with three topical products
The collection harnesses the patent-pending ShaantComplex™, a proprietary blend of derived from terrestrial and marine plants that help control oiliness, shed dead skin cells, reduce pore diameter, and help reduce redness. Each plant addresses the acne inflammasome in distinct yet synergistic ways. The ShaantComplex™ is supplemented by other Ayurvedic plants or fruits that are known for their analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and skin tone improving properties.
The first four Shaant products are certified MyMicrobiome, Vegan, Leaping Bunny, and EWG Verified. The cleanser and toner are also certified EcoCert COSMOS natural.
Every product in the Shaant collection undergoes efficacy testing at a third-party clinical facility. Measurements are made on a statistically meaningful population using instrumentation accepted by dermatologists for quantifying specific skin parameters. This data is summarized in an efficacy panel that provides a transparent snapshot of product performance to the consumer. The entire collection, including future OTC products, is undergoing an IRB clinical trial under the supervision of Dr. Sivamani.
All products are manufactured in a high-tech cosmetic cGMP (ISO22716) facility to deliver the highest quality. All products contain sustainably sourced ingredients housed in plant-based polyethylene tubes or 50% PCR PET bottles, which reduce each product's carbon footprint from about 50% to 100%.
