Mibelle Biochemistry has won the in-cosmetics Asia Innovation Zone Best Ingredient Gold Award for NovoRetin™. The ingredient was first introduced at in-cosmetics Global in Paris earlier this year. NovoRetin™ is a plant-based retinol alternative demonstrating exceptional benefits for impure skin and strong anti-aging effects. By inhibiting CYP26 enzymes that degrade retinoic acid, NovoRetin™ is able to increase the amount of naturally occurring retinoic acid, the active form of retinol, in the skin. 

NovoRetin™ 

• Boosts naturally occurring retinoic acid in the skin 
• Improves skin elasticity and density 
• Effects immediate lifting 
• Visibly refines pores and blemishes 
• Stable and safe retinol activity 

Based on mastic, an aromatic resin from the bark of a tree that grows on the Greek island of Chios, NovoRetin™ is an innovative plant-based natural alternative to retinol. Clinical studies conducted on Caucasian and Asian women showed that NovoRetin™ not only significantly increases skin elasticity and density, but also has an immediate anti-wrinkle effect. In acne-prone skin, NovoRetin™ reduces retentional lesions, such as blackheads, pore size and shininess, while increasing skin hydration at the same time. Thus, NovoRetin™ serves as ideal natural retinol alternative for cosmetics formulations. NovoRetin™ is COSMOS and NATRUE approved
