SKIN-MIMETISM: TO MIMIC THE SKIN TO UNLOCK ITS POTENTIAL
Skin-mimetism is at the heart of Mimétique’s philosophy.
Inspired by biomimicry — which imitates living mechanisms to drive innovation — skin-mimetism applies this same principle to the skin.
We study the skin’s physico-chemical and biological phenomena on a microscopic scale to understand how it truly works. Then, we replicate these mechanisms in cutting-edge skincare formulas designed to work in perfect synergy with your skin.
In short, we select ingredients your skin already contains, recognizes, and absorbs naturally. These ingredients also help activate its key biological functions.
→ The goal? To help your skin perform at its full potential.
THE SMR-C5 COMPLEX
SMR-C5 (Skin Mimetic Restore Complex) is a breakthrough innovation developed over 3 years of research in collaboration with the AgroParisTech Chair of Cosmetology.
Composed of 5 biomimetic actives naturally found in the skin, it targets its three fundamental functions:
Protect — Strengthens the skin’s natural defense systems.
Hydrate — Enhances the skin’s own hydration mechanisms for long-lasting moisture.
Regenerate — Supports intercellular communication and stimulates cell renewal.
Scientifically proven results
In collaboration with AgroParisTech, we tested the SMR-C5 complex on cell cultures and reconstructed human skin models (Episkin).
The results speak for themselves:
• +15% increase in keratinocyte proliferation
→ Boosts skin cell renewal.
• +9% increase in fibroblast activity
→ Stimulates collagen production.
• +28% increase in pro-collagen I synthesis
→ Reinforces dermal structure.
→ These results demonstrate a global regeneration of the skin.

The SMR-C5 Actives and Their Benefits
L-Carnosine (Dipeptide)
Amino Acids and Minerals
Oligosaccharides
Oligo β-Glucans
L-Carnosine (Dipeptide)Role: A powerful antioxidant that protects cells and structural proteins from free radicals, UV damage, and glycation.
Effect: Preserves collagen and improves skin firmness. Anti-wrinkle.
Amino Acids and MineralsRole: Stimulate natural moisturizing factors (NMF) and ensure water retention within skin cells.
Effect: Provides long-lasting hydration (72 hours) and improves skin suppleness.
OligosaccharidesRole: Reduce water evaporation at the surface and promote its retention in the stratum corneum.
Effect: Prolonged hydration and strengthened skin barrier.
Oligo β-GlucansRole: Enhance cell regeneration and strengthen intercellular communication.
Effect: Firmer, more elastic skin with reduced visible signs of fatigue. Anti-wrinkle and revitalizes complexion.
