At YUNI, we're always on the lookout for the most sustainable ways to create and innovate our products. As plant-based biotechnology becomes more accessible, we've set our sights on truly transformative, cutting-edge ingredients to elevate our new skincare collections and breathe new life into our beloved classics.

What is Biotech Beauty? 

Biotech beauty is where science meets sustainability. By harnessing the power of technology and scientific advancements, beauty biotechnology creates products that are not only highly effective but also kind to the planet. This approach aligns perfectly with YUNI’s commitment to clean beauty, using environmentally friendly processes and natural ingredients with minimal impact. Our roots are deeply planted in natural skincare and Ayurvedic traditions, and with biotechnology, we’re taking these values to the next level, offering high-performance products that don’t compromise on ethics or eco-friendliness.

Let us introduce you to Mevalonic Acid—a breakthrough in beauty biotechnology. More than just a skincare trend, this multi-purpose ingredient restores skin health deep at the cellular level.

What is Mevalonic Acid in Skincare?

Mevalonic Acid is a cellular master molecule, but what does that mean for your skin? Healthy-looking skin starts with healthy cells, and Mevalonic Acid is a key player in this process. It regulates cellular metabolism and serves as a foundational building block that cells use to create more complex structures like lipids and hormones. Because skin cells rely on Mevalonic Acid to produce elements that are critical to skin repair and renewal—scientists believe that Mevalonic Acid is a promising avenue for topical skincare.

Thanks to its compact molecular structure, Mevalonic Acid penetrates deeply into the skin, enhancing absorption and delivering optimum results. To put it in perspective, Mevalonic Acid is half the size of retinol, a quarter the size of squalene, and a mere fraction of the size of collagen.

Benefits of Mevalonic Acid for Skin

Mevalonic acid is a breakthrough ingredient that works deep within your skin, offering a range of benefits that help you achieve that balanced, glowing complexion we all strive for. 

Strengthens Cellular Health

The magic of Mevalonic Acid starts at the cellular level. But what does that actually look like for your skin? As we age, our cells’ ability to repair themselves declines, leading to a drop in collagen, CoQ10, squalene, and skin lipids—all of which are abundant in youthful skin. The result? Wrinkles, dryness, loss of elasticity, uneven pigmentation, and thinning skin. By boosting cellular health, Mevalonic Acid addresses these signs of aging right at the source.

Enhances Overall Skin Vitality

Mevalonic Acid is a powerhouse ingredient that your skin transforms into CoQ10, squalene, vitamin K, retinol, and lipids—all essential for cellular health and rejuvenation. Regular use of Mevalonic Acid can visibly improve skin texture, tone, and resilience, helping you achieve a more youthful glow, regardless of age, gender, or skin type.

Gentle on Sensitive Skin

What’s even better? Mevalonic Acid’s potent anti-aging benefits come with zero irritation, making it a dream ingredient for sensitive skin. Unlike other active ingredients that can cause redness or sensitivity, Mevalonic Acid is exceptionally gentle. Plus, it’s safe to use even in direct sunlight without worrying about adverse reactions.
