DEDICATED TO EXCELLENCE
Pyratine
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
The results have been prolific, resulting in over a dozen new compounds that have been successfully screened for biological activity and lack of cellular toxicity and two commercially ready, advanced and revolutionary cytokinins, Pyratine®and 4HBAP. Both compounds have been clinically tested in humans at leading Universities and have shown attributes more beneficial to treatment than any predecessor compound in ameliorating the signs of aging, including the only FDA approved anti-aging product, Renova®.

Throughout the many product offerings found in our industry, many claims are made but few are substantiated. We do not use merely subjective consumer or dermatologist panels for product evaluation. We employ hard science to objectify our results, such as using high grade instrumentation to measure water loss and the reduction in redness in skin; in addition, we utilize high resolution photography and silicone profilometry to measure the reduction in fine lines, wrinkles and skin roughness.
We also believe that it is imperative to always study the interactions between compounds before combining them. Skin care companies are known for mixing several actives in one formulation even though no testing for compatibility among these ingredients may have been completed – this practice can often lead to antagonism between the mixed ingredients rendering the formulation ineffective or even unsafe. However, because the compounds used by Pyratine®are multi-functional in and of themselves, our products provide many benefits without the addition of other actives that might compromise their effectiveness. Should we combine actives, we will have conducted both biological activity and toxicity tests to insure that they are synergistic and not antagonistic.
The Best Team Available
Our controlled human clinical trials and various laboratory tests also ensure that we avoid other mistakes that can compromise the efficacy and stability of products. One example of such an error occurred in the late 1980s and early 1990s when many cosmeceuticals in the retail market were formulated using the wrong pH, causing the active ingredient to “die” before the products even reached the shelves. Had strict testing been conducted, this mistake would have been realized before being purchased and used by countless consumers.
At Pyratine, we put your safety first and spare no expense. We do not test our products on animals, only on humans who volunteer for our trials. Further, our emphasis is on developing plant based compounds that are naturally occurring in nature, staying away from acids and harsh chemicals in our products. As stated throughout our website, our products have been formulated for sensitive and irritated skin, making them suitable for all skin types.
