Boosting Skin Elasticity with a Concentrated Biotech Active
Relistase is a concentrated biotechnological active formulated to support the renewal of elastin fibers within the dermis and slow down visible signs of skin thinning over time. This ingredient belongs to the Skin Firmness and Tone Actives category, which brings together potent components used in anti-aging serums, creams, and targeted concentrates. The 10 g packaging is well suited for home-based formulation work and small test batches, allowing formulators to trial the active before scaling up production.
The primary application of Relistase lies in the production of anti-aging skincare for mature and sagging skin on the face, neck, and décolletage. The active works on fibroblasts, encouraging the skin's own elastin production, which over time contributes to firmer, more resilient skin texture and a visible smoothing of fine lines. It is commonly used in serums, lifting creams, ampoule concentrates, and professional home-care products following in-clinic cosmetic treatments. Beyond conventional skincare, this ingredient is also valued by manufacturers of functional spa concentrates and anti-age body care lines.
This opalescent liquid belongs to the cosmetic peptides range and is ideal for small-batch work. It is also listed among other cosmetic actives and pairs well with options such as Peptide Syn-TC, 5 g or Papain, 10 g.
Recommended usage typically ranges from 1 to 3 percent of the total formula weight, with the exact concentration depending on the desired strength of action and the type of finished product. It should be incorporated during the final cool-down phase of production, at temperatures not exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, to preserve the integrity of the active biological structures and ensure maximum efficacy in the finished formulation.
Relistase pairs well with other actives from the firmness and tone category, amplifying the overall anti-aging performance of a formula. For instance, combining it with hyaluronic acid serum provides deep hydration and creates favorable conditions for elastin-stimulating components to perform effectively. The formula can also be enriched with lactobacillus lysate, which supports the skin microbiome and strengthens its natural defenses, particularly beneficial for sensitive and mature skin types. Another strong complement is marine collagen Maricol, which works synergistically to support the structural framework of the dermis.
Store the concentrate in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally refrigerated between 2 and 8 degrees Celsius, tightly sealed to prevent oxidation of the active compounds. Once opened, use within the timeframe specified by the manufacturer while maintaining proper storage conditions.
