The GLYCEL philosophy began with Dr. Christiaan Barnard, who launched the brand.
・1922 Born in South Africa.
・In 1967, he performed the world’s first successful human-to-human heart transplantation.
・Dr. Barnard devoted the rest of his life to anti-aging research at the Clinique La Prairie anti-aging cosmetic treatment center, the birthplace of “cellular regeneration therapy,” and founded GLYCEL.
・Date of death: 2001
Dr. Barnard described GLYCEL’s cellular activation therapy in a 1980’s U.S. magazine interview as follows
「The issue of age-related life changes is my core research topic in Switzerland.」
「During our partner collaboration, we discovered that GSLs, which activate skin cell function, are more abundant in young skin than in aged skin.」
To this day, GLYCEL continues to be guided by this founding philosophy.
R&D and production in Switzerland, a source of brilliance
The glorious legend of the GLYCEL brand comes from Montre, a “little paradise” on the shores of Lake Geneva in Switzerland, where the GLYCEL dermo-cell science research team, in the world’s first medical beauty sanatorium, has succeeded in developing Glycosphingolipids™ that restore the natural power of the skin, slow down the aging process, and plump up the skin’s firmness. The Glycosphingolipids™, the active element formula that restores the skin’s natural strength, slows the pace of skin aging, and leads to firm, plump skin, were developed at the world’s first medical beauty clinic. Since then, “GLYCEL” has become synonymous with “skin regeneration.
Unique “TCSL” technology activates cell regeneration
GLYCEL is known for its advanced cellular research, which it uses to develop high quality skin care products. Combined with the patented “TCSL™ Multi-Lipid Synthesis Technology” (Technique Complexe de Synthese Lipidiques), also patented in Switzerland, the GSL™ Active Element Formula, also made with the famous synthetic peptide ingredients SYN- AKE and SYN-COLL, we have developed our signature Enhance “high quality” skin revitalizing and beautifying range.
Product series evolving with research and development
The GLYCEL scientific research team has been researching and developing for many years and the results are reflected in our products every day. We continue to use patented Swiss technology and formulas, combining various natural plant essences and precious ingredients to develop more and more cellular regenerative skin care products.
By enhancing the skin’s resilience and taking an inside-out approach, the products more effectively firm, moisturize, and restore radiant, youthful skin.
Origin of GLYCEL
The brand name “GLYCEL” is derived from “Glycosphingolipids™,” the main ingredient that effectively repairs and regenerates cells, and “Cell,” and the initials were combined to form “GLYCEL.
Developed and produced in Switzerland, GLYCEL uses “Shield” as its brand trademark to indicate that it has high quality cell regeneration and protection functions.
