• Mimétique brand

  Mimétique is more than skincare : it’s a scientific revolution designed to honor the skin’s innate intelligence. Founded by cosmetic chemist Fabienne Sebaoun, whose heritage traces back to dermatology, the brand is rooted in a profound belief: the skin is a living, self-regenerating marvel, perfected over millions of years. Instead of forcing it to adapt, Mimétique decodes its mechanisms, mirroring its natural processes to unlock its full potential.

  Through skin biomimicry, every Mimétique formula replicates the skin’s own biology. The "skin-identical" actives, naturally present in the epidermis, ensure instant recognition and optimal absorption.

  At its core lies the SMR-C5 complex, developed with AgroParisTech’s Chair of Cosmetology and Prof. Richard Daniellou. This breakthrough technology works in harmony to shield against environmental stress, hydrate deeply for up to 72 hours, and regenerate cells, revealing skin that’s firmer, more elastic, and luminous.

  Mimétique doesn’t just care for the skin : it elevates it, in perfect sync with its natural biology.

Origins & Vision of Mimétique Skincare

• Mimétique’s story is both personal and scientific. After a global career in luxury cosmetics (Guerlain, Valmont), Fabienne Sebaoun reimagined skincare with a radical approach: "Your skin is a masterpiece of evolution. It’s been innovating for 7 million years—it knows what it needs."

  By studying the skin at a microscopic level, she identified its essential components and biological keys, particularly its unparalleled ability to self-renew. This led to the creation of the SMR-C5 (Skin Mimetic Restore Complex), a major scientific advancement combining five biomimetic actives naturally found in the skin:
  
  L-Carnosine (dipeptide): A potent antioxidant that protects cells and structural proteins from free radicals, UV damage, and glycation, preserving collagen and enhancing firmness.
  
  Amino acids & minerals: Boost natural moisturizing factors (NMFs) for 72-hour hydration, locking water into cells.
  
  Oligo β-Glucans: Enhance cellular regeneration and intercellular communication, reducing fatigue signs and reviving radiance.
  
  Oligosaccharides: Minimize water loss and strengthen the skin barrier.
  
  These actives work synergistically to support the skin’s natural defenses, hydration, and regeneration—without aggression or excess. Tested on cellular cultures and reconstructed skin (Episkin), SMR-C5 delivers proven results:
  
  +15% keratinocyte proliferation for accelerated renewal,
  +9% fibroblast activity to naturally stimulate collagen,
  +28% pro-collagen I production for improved structure and elasticity.
  
  As Prof. Richard Daniellou notes, "Mimétique offers scientifically validated, natural actives that enhance skin cell growth." A new era of dermocosmetics, where science, efficacy, and skin respect converge.

The Biomimetic routine that mirrors the skin to regenerate it

• Mimétique’s range works in harmony with all skin types, supporting its natural mechanisms for visible, lasting results.

  Skin Restore
  The Skin Restore cream is the cornerstone. With 25% actives and SMR-C5, it delivers 72-hour hydration, boosts cell renewal, and strengthens the skin barrier. Enriched with low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid and Artemisia abrotanum, it plumps, firms, and protects. Awarded the Madame Figaro Feel Good 2024 Prize, it’s ideal for all skin types, even sensitive.

  Skin Revive
  The Skin Revive serum is a potent anti-aging and anti-fatigue concentrate. Lightweight yet powerful, it combines SMR-C5 with stabilized vitamin C and niacinamide to smooth wrinkles, even tone, and restore radiance.

  Skin Booster
  The Skin Booster oil nourishes and repairs. Formulated with plant squalane and biomimetic actives, it reinforces the lipid barrier and enhances other products’ effects. Non-greasy and subtly scented, it’s perfect for dehydrated or mature skin.

  For those who want to understand and care for their skin intelligently.
