April 27, 2010, Northvale, NJ – Switzerland based Mibelle Biochemistry has announced the launch of the newest product in the PhytoCellTec line – PhytoCellTec Alp Rose. Derived from the leaves of the alpine rose, PhytoCellTec Alp Rose utilizes Mibelle’s unique stem cell technology to preserve the activity of epidermal stem cells and protect them from environmental stress.

To effectively protect against environmental stressors, the epidermis is constantly renewed and repaired by epidermal stem cells. As environmental changes and aging impair this barrier function, PhytoCellTec Alp Rose can help reverse this degeneration – optimizing the potential of epidermal stem cells and therefore, improving skin regeneration and the quality of the barrier function.

This is the third product in Mibelle’s PhytoCellTec line of stem cell actives. The first product, PhytoCellTec Malus Domestica is derived from apples and offers anti-aging benefits to skin and hair while the second, PhytoCellTec Solar Vitis is derived from grape and offers UV protection.

The PhytoCellTec products are available in the US exclusively through TRI-K Industries, Inc.
