There are many products that works in the lab. However, the high anti-aging effect in the laboratory does not guarantee in real life. Because experiments in test tubes presuppose a situation where there is no skin barrier. After all, for the laboratory data to function properly in real life, the active ingredient must be able to reach beyond the skin barrier. However, the skin barrier is solid lamellar structure in which keratinocytes and lipids are stacked on top of each other and gives hard time for active ingredients to pass through. In fact, according to a paper called 500 Dalton’s Law, most active ingredients in cosmetics do not pass through the skin barrier.

The founder of IDENEL, Prof. Byung-ho Song has studied chemistry and biology for 30 years. His concentration of research has been the ability to deliver active ingredients to deeper through the skin barrier. Our perception of the existing ingredients or technologies is that there are limitations, for this reason we have begun developing new ingredients. We brought in fellow professors and dermatologists as advisors to verify the effectiveness and safety of the new material. The research journey began in a university’s lab in 2005, and that journey has brought an incredible result by the raw ingredients of IDENEL’s hero, the two patented technologies: Altum technology and Raphitox

The pursuit of perfection did not stop with new ingredients. We have developed a formulation that maximizes the strength of new ingredients and a treatment method by collaborating with 30 years experienced aestheticians and formulators. Eventually, cosmetic meets aesthetic. The PEPTAXEL procedure was launched in 2021 for professional and homecare to maximize the potential of IDENEL’s latest technology, Altum technology.
