Sustainability is an inherent value in Montibello’s philosophy, and one of the brand’s three pillars, along with professional exclusivity and innovation. This firm commitment to caring for the planet has meant a true transformation in product formulation.

Montibello’s R&D laboratory prioritizes formulas with a high percentage of natural ingredients, easily biodegradable and as environmentally friendly as possible. Progress has also been made in recent years in the commitment to reduce environmental impact and energy consumption, promoting the circular economy.

Retiderma, Montibello’s new pro-youth range, was born in this context of maximum awareness of the change of direction necessary for more sustainable cosmetics, demanded every day by more consumers and beauty professionals.

Retiderma has arrived to revolutionize antiageing skin care, offering us the most respectful renascence: skin regeneration committed to the environment and sustainable care.

Retiderma’s Technology

This new high-performance pro-youth range, based on a cutting-edge marine bio-retinoid, presents unprecedented regenerative effects with maximum tolerance for the skin. Thus, this innovative generation of acts on the cellular receptors of retinol, activating only the benefits and freeing us from the adverse effects linked to retinol.

To give life to Retiderma, we have selected four effective active ingredients obtained from biotechnological production, that is, attained from nature, but grown in the laboratory for maximum respect and balance of the environment.

The innovative pro-youth range bases its high skin regeneration power on microalgae, a natural, sustainable and clean source, which explores new and unique improvements in all skin types.

Why use microalgae as active ingredients in cosmetic products?

Because these exceptional microorganisms, with great adaptation and regeneration powers, are sustainable sources of active biomolecules of natural origin. It is a raw material of plant origin that is obtained wild in marine nature. Respecting the environment and its biodiversity, they are grown in bioreactors, promoting their growth in optimal conditions, without the need to waste resources. Specifically, they are grown in closed tubular photobioreactors, which keep the culture completely isolated from the outside.

In this way, blue biotechnology, based on the use of marine resources, opens the doors to a universe of new and unique active ingredients from a natural, sustainable and clean source.

Key ingredients

Retiderma‘s formula –  vegan friendly, clean and respectful –  is composed of the following antioxidant and moisturizing ingredients:

Marine Bio-Retinoid.

It is the first retinoid of natural origin, obtained from a microalgae native to Formentera, which acts on the same skin receptors as retinol. It offers the same effectiveness, but with maximum tolerance: unlike retinol, it does not cause any adverse effects on the structure of the skin. Above all its properties, we highlight its skin regeneration power, capable of reducing expression lines, unifying tone and improving skin texture.

Ruttnera Lamellosa. 

Natural active ingredient from biotechnological cultivation obtained from a microalgae that has great resilience to extreme oxidative environments. It is a great ally to protect and repair the skin.

Spirulina.

This superfood, rich in natural nutrients, promotes skin elasticity, stimulating the immune system and neutralizing free radicals. Spirulina is the microalgae that has the greatest antioxidant power and will provide us with the nutrients, vitamins and minerals that our skin needs.

Polyglutamic Acid

Natural active ingredient, derived from soy, biotechnologically grown and with moisturizing properties. Polyglutamic acid manages to retain 5,000 times its weight in water, five times more than hyaluronic acid.
