Mibelle Biochemistry unveils SenoCellTec for skin rejuvenation

site-industries-cosmetiques Diagram showing three stages: on the left, cells with several inactive gray cells labeled "Senescence"; in the middle, these cells are eliminated, leaving space; on the right, the space is filled by healthier cells and fibers.

Mibelle Biochemistry launches SenoCellTec, a new-generation active ingredient designed to target the root causes of skin aging. This senolytic approach promises to visibly restore skin's youthful appearance.

Swiss company Mibelle Biochemistry has announced the introduction of SenoCellTec, a new active substance designed to rejuvenate the skin by fundamentally targeting the causes of aging. SenoCellTec uses an innovative three-step approach: «clear - fill - revive», which eliminates senescent «zombie» cells, activates skin stem cells, and finally revitalizes skin structure.

SenoCellTec: an anti-aging innovation

Beyond superficial changes, skin aging is rooted in deeper biological processes, notably the accumulation of senescent cells and the decline in skin stem cell activity. These aging cells emit inflammatory signals that degrade collagen, while stem cells lose their ability to renew the skin. Together, these alterations reduce firmness and elasticity, accentuating the visible signs of aging.

In clinical tests, SenoCellTec demonstrated a significant improvement in skin hydration, firmness, elasticity and density in just 28 days. Tests also revealed a significant reduction in wrinkle depth, even in areas influenced by gravity.

site-industries-cosmetiques Close-up of a cluster of yellow wildflowers in a field with dry grass, distant hills and a blue sky in the background.

Ambre des Dunes revives the virtues of Corsican immortelle with a range of cosmetics combining tradition and innovation. Focus on the serum from the heart of the Isle of Beauty.

Created in 2017 by the Hélisée company, Ambre des Dunes is a new cosmetic skincare range based on Corsican immortelle flowers, carefully cultivated in the local maquis. The products offer 100 % organic solutions suited to all skin types, while preserving the ancestral benefits of this emblematic plant.

Immersion in the heart of the maquis

Immortelle flower serum, available as a large 30 ml spray or 10 ml roll-on, is made from a macerate of flowers harvested by hand in the Balagne region. This artisanal process gives the plant unique virtues, such as anti-inflammatory properties thanks to its vitamin K content. In synergy with apricot kernel oil and organic Jojoba wax, the serum helps fight the signs of aging by restoring the skin's natural elasticity.

The benefits of massage oil

This massage oil combines immortelle with deodorized sesame oil, known for its nourishing properties. Used in a variety of massage techniques, it brings softness and relaxation, while intensely nourishing dry, damaged skin. Its innovative, non-greasy formulation and neutral scent fully highlight the distinctive, soothing scent of Immortelle.

By rediscovering Corsican roots through these products, Ambre des Dunes offers a sensory experience full of promise for lovers of authentic, natural skincare. The story of Orélie Grimaldi, who chose to perpetuate her family's heritage by returning to the land of her ancestors in Alistro, adds a human dimension to this promising cosmetics adventure.
