NORTHVALE, NJ, December 9, 2009 - Switzerland based Mibelle Biochemistry has recently announced the launch of the newest product in the PhytoCell Tec line - PhytoCell Tec Solar Vitis. Derived from a rare German grape, PhytoCell Tec Solar Vitis utilizes Mibelle's unique stem cell technology to protect epidermal stem cells from the aging effects of UV radiation.

UV radiation is responsible for a full 80% of skin aging. The activity of skin stem cells is a key factor in ensuring the vitality and regeneration capacity of the skin. PhytoCell Tec Solar Vitis both protects and maintains the activity of epidermal stem cells - even in cases of stress induced by UV.

This is the second product in Mibelle's PhytoCell Tec line of stem cell actives; the first product, PhytoCell Tec Malus Domestica is derived from an endangered Swiss apple and offers anti-aging benefits to skin and hair.

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