They found the most modern, well equipped and sophisticated laboratory in the country to formulate LifeCell.
The Science of LifeCell series has attempted to take a very close look at this product from South Beach Skincare, and to examine the ingredients that make it such a groundbreaking product. While each of these ingredients is beneficial on its own, it is the formulation that South Beach has chosen that makes LifeCell truly unique.
They took an expensive and time consuming path to creating this anti-aging and anti-wrinkle cream to ensure that right from the start LifeCell established a standard and maintained an integrity that few in the skincare business can match.
Their aim of tracking down all-natural anti-aging ingredients at 4 or 5 times the cost of the cheap chemical substitutes that others use has certainly paid off. They even had to fight US Customs in order to import the expensive Spanish A3P and Swedish DP3A.
With the vital ingredient of Idebenone, the law only requires cosmetic manufacturers to include a pinch for it to be mentioned on labels, but South Beach has imported it from Switzerland, and includes 10 times the amount. In order to source the high potency Deanol in LifeCell, they travelled to France.
South Beach spent months and months testing and retesting their anti-aging formulation until they were absolutely certain that all ingredients worked at peak efficiency and were compatible with each other. In order to do this they found the most modern, well equipped and sophisticated laboratory in the country to formulate LifeCell.
This laboratory is one that dermatologists around the country use to make their custom formulations for individual patients. It is a pharmaceutical laboratory with a drug-manufacturing license that ensures the FDA and state licensing boards scrutinize their operation to ensure it complies with their stringent regulations.
There are few, if any, cosmetic companies that come under the regulations of the FDA and fewer still that have trained and licensed pharmacists on staff.
South Beach's fully licensed and trained pharmacists formulated the dermatologist-recommended LifeCell. They were able to actually create the ingredient combinations. Outside laboratories can be tempted to dilute the potency of formulations as a cost cutting measure.
Every batch of LifeCell's ingredients is checked on delivery, and rechecked, to verify its efficacy and potency. If for whatever reason the ingredient supplier has not adhered to South Beach's specifications the ingredient is turned around and sent back.
One would think that developing a skincare product to this standard, and maintaining the quality would cost a fortune, and it does. However, because South Beach does not spend most of the product cost on advertising, marketing and over-the-top packaging, it can invest more in the actual product.
The secret to LifeCell's success is not merely the ingredients it contains. Certainly they play a huge part, but the stringent standards that South Beach maintains has a key role as well.
