Imiin Partners with LABIO to Develop Cellular Energy-Based Anti-Aging Skincare

Imiin announced on the 31st that it has entered into a partnership with the bio company LABIO to collaboratively develop cellular energy-based anti-aging cosmetic materials. This initiative will focus on shared research over the next year through a memorandum of understanding, positioning both companies strategically within an evolving market landscape.

As a cosmetics OEM/ODM specialist, Imiin's collaboration with LABIO, a pioneer in cosmetic bio-materials known for developing the world's first fermented oil, emphasizes a comprehensive approach to product development. This partnership encompasses efficacy verification, formulation, raw material development, and product application, showcasing a vertical collaboration that aims to expedite the R&D process towards commercialization.

The recent trend in the global cosmetics industry is shifting from traditional anti-aging products, which primarily focus on wrinkle improvement, to longevity skincare aimed at maintaining optimal cellular function over extended periods. This transition is increasingly recognized as a response to the underlying causes of skin aging, particularly the decline in cell energy and mitochondrial function.

LABIO intends to harness extreme microorganisms and fermentation technology in developing functional cosmetic materials. Notably, they have secured competitive advantages through their groundbreaking work with fermented oil, solubilization of insoluble substances, and encapsulation technologies. Their cell-based efficacy screening platform also validates mitochondrial activation and cell energy-related functions of natural ingredients, potentially identifying next-generation candidates for anti-aging applications.

Through their collaborative research with LABIO, Imiin plans to stabilize formulations based on promising candidate materials and develop application technologies, with a focus on commercialization. This strategy not only enhances their product portfolio but also positions them to provide innovative, technology-driven solutions to their clients in the global market.

Furthermore, both companies are committed to analyzing the mechanism of action and efficacy data of candidate materials, with plans for patent applications and academic publications, which will bolster their technological competitiveness in the industry.

An Imiin representative stated, "There is increasing interest in longevity-based skincare that goes beyond mere skin improvement to maintain cell function in the long term. We anticipate that our joint research with LABIO will secure next-generation anti-aging materials based on cellular energy activation and enable us to present competitively advanced technology-based products in the global market." As they expand their focus on cellular energy activation skincare material development, both partners aim to strengthen differentiation through technology and enhance their penetration into the global cosmetics marketplace.
