Makucell introduces new science-driven skin care product line

Biotechnology company Makucell has introduced a new science-driven skin care product line named Renewnt.

The new product range has been developed with ingredient Asymmtate, a molecular process to energise the skin’s stem cells, said to engenderyouthful cell behaviour.

According to the American firm, the skin stem cells are governed by body’s signals, and control the decision to remain dormant, divide or differentiate.

The firm said the proprietary molecule in the ingredient encourages optimal signalling in the pathway, stimulating the skin stem cells to begin the process leading to keratinocytes, fibroblasts and other dermal cells which produce collagen, elastic tissue and substances in the supporting skin matrix.

Makucell president and chief executive officer Lawrence Rheins said the new ingredient delivers regenerative ability in a hydrating cream, providing an anti-aging option.

"Asymmtate™ in Renewnt™ wakes-up the skin’s stem cells which have become sluggish with age, to begin rebuilding the underlying supporting skin matrix. As a result, skin looks plumper and has a rejuvenated, youthful appearance," Rheins added.

The company said the products in the range are non irritating or sensitising and penetrate into the skin to show determinable up-regulation of genes that express skin structural proteins with simultaneous down-regulation of inflammatory genes in gene expression analysis.

Makucell said in clinical studies after four weeks, the skin had shown smoothing, plumping and an improvement in texture.

The Renewnt skin care product line includes Renewnt for Hydration a day and night facial moisturizer, Renewnt for Firmness, a neck and décolletage cream and Renewnt for Brightness serum.
