Home > Our Approach & Science

Once more, Functionalab innovates by using the biomimetic scientific approach for its new line of Advanced Cosmeceuticals. Based from 3 Nobel prizes and 5 years of research, these unique anti-aging products help extend skin cell longevity and reverse the signs of aging.Biomimecry is a scientific approach that consists of taking nature as model to solve human problems.

 

How does Biomimetic Cell System ™ work?

 

The appearance of the skin changes as skin cells age, due to internal (DNA) and external factors (UV rays and pollution). Biomimetic Cell System™ works on both these internal and external factors and prolongs the life of skin cell DNA by:

 

  • Increasing the long-life proteins (SIRTUINS)
  • Eliminating toxic build-up in the cell
  • Protecting the cell from internal oxidation during the day
  • Boosting natural DNA repair at night
  • Healthy skin cell DNA allows the skin to regenerate and repair naturally, making visible age reversal a reality.

 

Functionalab scientists used the cellular regeneration technology to create these made-to-measure formulations based on optimal dosage of 4 key ingredients. Their combination and concentration have been adapted to skin’s 3 different states:

 

  • First signs of aging
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Mature skin

 

4 KEY INGREDIENTS

 

  • SIRTUIN 1 - activator protects and repairs skin cells
  • SIRTUIN 3 - activator protects and energizes skin cells
  • Ub-p - stimulator detoxifies skin cells
  • Chrono peptide - boosts DNA protection during the day and DNA repair during the night

 

For 5 major benefits

 

  • Long-lasting hydration
  • Protection against premature aging
  • Reduced appearance of existing wrinkles
  • Enhanced skin radiance and tone
  • Improved elasticity to target sagging skin and loss of density

 

To confirm the efficiency of our Biomimetic line, a clinical study has been driven showing a relevant reduction in wrinkles and improvement of overall skin complexion after 56 days of use of Biomimetic Anti-Aging Cream*. Users reported the following:

 

  1. My skin is softer 94%
  2. My skin is more supple 91%
  3. My skin is firmer 91%
  4. My skin is moisturized88%
  5. My skin is smoother 84%
  6. My skin is more radiant 78%
  7. My skin appears younger 78%
  8. Overall evaluation 81%
