Mibelle Biochemistry has launched LunaRose, an organic ingredient for overnight skin care formulations. It acts on biological processes closely linked to sleep and supports skin regeneration. It is suitable for various formulations and works to reduce common signs of sleep deprivation, such as dark circles, dull skin, and sleep wrinkles. “It mimics the effect of melatonin, the ‘sleep hormone,’ and thus promotes nighttime skin recovery. LunaRose increases the expression of melatonin receptors and regulates genes important for the circadian rhythm, similar to melatonin,” Dr. Katharina Kappler, scientific project manager at Mibelle Biochemistry, tells Personal Care Insights.
