From plant-stem-cell exosomes to climate-adapted ingredients, the latest innovations for formulation

Mibelle Biochemistry is introducing PhytoCellTec™ Exosomes

This innovative product delivers exosomes from outside into the skin, and also stimulates the production of exosomes by mesenchymal stem cells within the skin.

As we age, our skin's production of collagen and elastin decreases, leading to sagging skin most noticeably around the contours of the jawline and the breasts. PhytoCellTec™ Exosomes is designed to counteract these effects.

Exosomes are vesicles released by cells to enable cell-to-cell communication. Mesenchymal stem cellsPhytoCellTec™ Exosomes are plant-stem-cell derived exosomes can interact with human cells, offering a range of benefits and significant potential for cosmetic use. 

With its dual exosome-based action, PhytoCellTec™ Exosomes works on both the epidermis and dermis. It shields the skin from external stressors and rejuvenates it by enhancing skin density and elasticity, reducing wrinkles, and reshaping the contours of the face and breasts. 


Seppic has tested the moisturizing properties of Montanov™ emulsifiers on different phototypes and in various climates.

In response to the growing demand for inclusive skincare solutions to suit globally diverse needs, Seppic has conducted tests on phototypes ranging from II to VI to evaluate the performance of its range of Oil/Water emulsifiers, Montanov™, for skin hydration.

Montanov™ 202 and Montanov™ L were tested in minimalist, active-free oil-in-water emulsions 1 2 tailored to consumer formulation preferences in five countries on different continents: France, China, India, Brazil and Mauritius in Africa. The feel and texture of the formulas have been adapted to regional expectations; thus, Montanov L offers light formulas for hot, humid climates, while Montanov ™ 202 creates richer textures for temperate regions.

The clinical data gathered in these five countries underline the complementary nature of the ingredients in the Montanov™ range. These emulsifiers thus provide increased hydration for a wide range of prototypes and environments, making them an ideal solution for the global market.
