Mibelle Biochemistry has launched TiMOOD, a skincare ingredient designed to positively influence mood and emotional wellbeing.
Based on timut pepper, a spice plant from the Himalayas, the Swiss firm says TiMOOD can improve neuronal function in the skin and thereby increase skin homogeneity.
Mibelle’s latest launch has been shown to improve emotional wellbeing in stressed volunteers leading to a more relaxed state.
Benefits of TiMOOD are said to include: protection of neurons from ageing, supporting healthy and even skin complexion, improved wellbeing under stress, and stimulations of the skin-brain connection.
“In a global society characterized by more and more people feeling stressed, the concept of emotional wellbeing and has become increasingly important. Self-care in beauty can help to boost mental health, and in turn a more relaxed state of mind and less stress can improve skin appearance too,” a spokeswoman said.
“Skin that feels good can boost one’s mood; not only consciously due to a visible improvement of the facial appearance but also unconsciously via the skin-brain axis. This link between the skin and brain is achieved by signaling via released molecules as well as through the direct connection by nerve cells.”
