Unifarco is stepping up its innovation drive
A new patent application has been filed for Retinolvshape, bringing the company’s total number of patents to 31
Unifarco Laboratori, a leading Italian company in the pharmacy health and wellbeing sector, has filed a new patent application for RETINOLVSHAPE®, an innovative cosmetic formulation that combines sea buckthorn extract with retinoid and retinol-like active ingredients – substances derived from retinol or which mimic its action.
This innovation was developed with the aim of improving the overall effectiveness of cosmetic formulations designed to reduce the signs of skin ageing and enhance the appearance of the facial skin, whilst also ensuring they are well-tolerated for daily use. At the heart of the project lies the development of a combination of active ingredients that complement retinol – a well-known and widely researched compound that drives innovation in skincare – capable of enhancing the properties of sea buckthorn when combined with retinoid-active substances.
RETINOLVSHAPE® is used in the ‘Formula Retinolo’ facial skincare range by Farmacisti Preparatori and represents the perfect blend of scientific research and product development, designed to meet the needs of those who visit the pharmacy every day. The formulation is, in fact, designed to provide effective restructuring action, helping to reduce deep wrinkles, improve the appearance of the facial contour and support cell turnover. With this new patent application, Unifarco Laboratori reaffirms its commitment to people’s health and wellbeing, highlighting the role of the pharmacist as a key point of reference in selecting cosmetic treatments suited to different skin types.
The granting of this new patent would bring the total number of patents held by Unifarco Laboratori to 31, with 24 of these already being utilised in a product range, demonstrating the company’s ongoing investment in research, development and innovation.
The project was developed in collaboration with UNIRED, a spin-off company resulting from the collaboration between Unifarco Laboratori and the University of Padua, as part of a research programme dedicated to the promotion of plant species found in the Veneto region.
