At the General Assembly of the Swiss Society of Cosmetic Chemists (SWISS SCC), Dr Zülli was honoured with the Kurt J. Pfeiffer Award – an award that recognises outstanding contributions to the advancement of Swiss cosmetology and the Swiss SCC.
Dr Zülli founded Mibelle Biochemistry in 1991, when he began developing high quality, scientific ingredients for the cosmetic industry that were based on novel biochemical concepts for the skin.
He led the company for 30 years as MD and is now business development director and leads the research department and the sales team.
A spokesperson at Mibelle Biochemistry said “The Kurt J. Pfeiffer Memorial Award is granted to individuals or organizations that have made exceptional contributions to the field. We are incredibly proud of Fred Zülli’s achievements and his commitment to innovation and technology in cosmetology.”
Bio-optimised collagen peptide for ‘ageless beauty’
The Swiss ingredients company has also recently launched a bio-optimised collagen peptide for ageless beauty. The ingredient is based around collagen production, which decreases with age, leading to visible signs of ageing.
Recent studies suggest that declining collagen levels might not just be a consequence of ageing but also a potential cause, which means that enhancing collagen levels could maintain youthful skin.
Mibelle Biochemistry’s new ingredient CollPerfect P6 is an encapsulated bioactivating hexapeptide with a sequence based on the human skin type I collagen. It’s designed to improve skin structure and firmness and works by stimulating collagen synthesis and encouraging dermal remodelling to rejuvenate the skin and improving its overall appearance.
The ingredient addresses common signs of ageing by enhancing skin’s natural elasticity and promoting collagen density. It’s backed by scientific research and clinical studies that show it promotes procollagen I production; boosts hyaluronic acid release; protects the dermal collagen fibres from ageing; tightens facial contours and increases skin elasticity and density.
