Mibelle Biochemistry is launching Phytocelltec Alp Rose, a new botanical stem cell active to protect epidermal stem cells against UV damage.

PhytoCellTec Alp Rose is based on alpine rose (rhododendron ferrugineum) stem cells, a typical Swiss flower which grows at altitudes of 1500 - 3200 metres, where it must adapt to extreme conditions such as cold, UV and dryness. PhytoCellTec Alp Rose has been developed to capture these characteristics in order to protect skin stem cells against environmental stress factors.

According to Mibelle, the new plant active increases skin stem cell vitality, boosts epidermal regeneration, and improves skin barrier function.
