THE SCIENCE OF AGING SKIN.
The skin’s dermis includes 3 critical components; collagen for skin strength, hyaluronic acid to provide hydration and elastin which is solely responsible for giving our skin elasticity and resilience. These components make a strong matrix that keep the skin strong, supple and hydrated. Age, oxidation and pollutants damage the skin's matrix structure leading to wrinkles and sagging skin.
Our bodies naturally restore collagen and hyaluronic acid every day and there are plenty of products that can also help supplement these essential skin components. Unfortunately, we stop building elastin at age 15 and prior to our scientific breakthrough, there was no way of repairing or rebuilding damaged elastin by cells.
HOW WE COMPARE
Neolastin Goes Beyond Collagen + HA
Most skincare focuses on what women already know: moisture, collagen, exfoliation, or surface smoothing. Neolastin focuses on what most routines miss: ELASTIN, the bounce fiber behind firmness, lift, and resilience.

“When I discovered the mechanism that allowed PGG to bind with elastin I knew immediately the possibilities were tremendous, from anti-aging to medical breakthroughs.”

THE INVENTOR OF NUFLEX™ TECHNOLOGY
MEET NAREN VYAVAHARE
Dr. Vyavahare is Chief Scientific Officer at Neolastin. He is also Director of NIH-funded South Carolina Bioengineering Center of Regeneration and Formation of Tissues (SC BioCRAFT).
Dr. Vyavahare is a world-leading, renowned expert in the areas of cardiovascular research and elastin revitalization. After decades of research to find solutions to reverse elastin loss in connective tissues, he discovered polyphenols like PGG could prevent elastin degradation and support cells to repair and rebuild it. Neolastin is the first to bring this innovation to skincare through our patented NUFLEX™ Technology.
With 15 International and US patents, Dr. Vyavahare's research is published in 160+ journal publications and conference proceedings, as well as seven book chapters. Dr. Vyavahare attracted ~$32M NIH research funding at Clemson over the last 20 years and is the recipient of many awards including; McQueen Quattlebaum Faculty Excellence Award, Faculty mentoring award, and Alumni award for outstanding achievement in research, Clemson University.
ORIGINS OF NUFLEX™ TECHNOLOGY
GO INSIDE THE LAB
In a career that has spanned 30 years, Dr. Vyavahare’s research has been focused on elastin, a rubber band-like protein dominant in the the tissues of our lungs, arteries and skin that allows these organs to expand and retract. The body’s ability to repair elastin diminishes with age and the loss of elastin is accelerated by oxidation, inflammation and pollutants that cause tissues to lose elasticity. Through his research, Dr. Vyavahare discovered that a specific antioxidant called PGG would bind to elastin and support its maintenence.
Taking it a step further, he paired the PGG with a novel micro-hyaluronic delivery system which would allow cells to support new elastic fiber and strengthen the tissue. The discovery has been patented and is now being used to repair lung tissue in patients with COPD, restore damaged arteries and repair damaged skin.
