NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 17, 2025--

AV Laboratories is bringing biotechnology out of the research lab and into the realm of daily skincare. Founded by a team of scientists and innovators with deep roots in IVF and stem cell research, AV Laboratories is pioneering a new frontier in molecular skin longevity with its patented AVL SOM3® complex — a formulation that delivers precise cellular nutrition to help skin renew, restore, and rejuvenate from within.

A Landmark Breakthrough in Cellular Precision

For founding member Monica Mezezi, this journey began decades earlier in the field of in vitro fertilization (IVF).

“As cofounder and CEO of LifeGlobal Group, I spent over twenty-five years developing and manufacturing advanced embryo culture media to improve IVF outcomes,” Mezezi explains. “Our landmark contribution — the creation of the single culture medium in 2002 — revolutionized the industry with a superior system that has become the global standard."

That achievement sparked a lifelong fascination with how cells thrive, repair, and communicate. “Working with embryonic cells taught me that every molecule matters,” Mezezi says. “Those early learnings inspired our mission at AVL — to apply the same molecular precision that sustains life at its beginning to support the skin’s longevity throughout life.”

The Convergence of Molecules and Regeneration

At the core of AVL’s research lies a single conviction: regeneration begins with metabolism.

The same molecules that sustain life in its earliest moments — amino acids, cofactors, antioxidants, and energy substrates — are also the keys to how our cells age, repair, and renew.

AVL SOM3® was engineered around this principle. It provides skin cells with all 20 amino acids, essential vitamins, and molecular cofactors in precise, biologically validated ratios — optimizing energy metabolism, reducing cellular stress, and promoting collagen, elastin, and NAD⁺ production.

“Traditional skincare often works on the surface,” says Mezezi. “We work from the inside out — at the molecular level where real regeneration begins.”

A New Benchmark for Molecular Skincare

Every AV Laboratories product — including the Face Serum, Eye Cream, Face Cream Light, Face Cream Rich, and Face Mist — is powered by AVL SOM3®. Each formula is designed to maintain optimal pH and osmolarity, ensuring perfect cellular compatibility and minimizing stress on the skin barrier.

Produced under medical-grade manufacturing standards, AVL products meet the same purity and quality benchmarks as biotechnology and medical device formulations. Each product undergoes extensive clinical testing to validate performance, safety, and efficacy — a level of scientific rigor rarely seen in consumer skincare.

“Our work in stem cell science taught us that even the smallest impurities can harm the most sensitive human cells," says Mezezi. “That is why we bring that same level of care to everything that touches the skin. AVL SOM3® is produced and controlled in our own FDA-registered facility, and our final formulations are manufactured in Europe under rigorous standards for ingredient safety, purity, and performance. Every batch is tested, certified, and fully traceable, offering true peace of mind in a time when cosmetic recalls are all too common.”

A Philosophy of Cellular Integrity

For Mezezi and her team, skin longevity is not about reversing time — it’s about restoring order at the cellular level.

“Aging, whether in an embryo or in skin, is really a story about loss of balance — energy depletion, oxidative stress, and metabolic noise,” she explains. “Our goal is to restore that balance, so cells can perform the way nature intended.”

This philosophy — that understanding how life begins can teach us how to sustain it — is what drives every innovation at AV Laboratories. It’s the convergence of biotechnology and beauty: rigorous science, elegantly expressed.

The Future of Skin Longevity

As AV Laboratories continues to expand its research and product line, its mission remains clear: to bring next-generation biotechnology to skin health, developing breakthrough technologies that redefine how we think about the appearance of skin aging and lasting wellness.

“We’re not a beauty brand borrowing science,” says Mezezi. “We are a science company advancing beauty. And we’re just getting started.”

WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar 12, 2026--

The LYCRA Company will officially launch COOLMAX CloakFX™ fiber globally at Performance Days Munich, Europe’s leading functional fabric fair, March 18–19. This innovation is designed to help garments appear drier by minimizing visible sweat marks while delivering moisture management and cooling comfort.

COOLMAX CloakFX™ fiber is for brands, mills, and garment makers creating performance-driven activewear, workwear, and everyday apparel. The technology diffuses light at the fiber level using optical “masking” that reduces the visual appearance of moisture, helping to make sweat marks less noticeable. Because the technology is built into the durable fiber, its benefits last wear after wear and wash after wash.

“Visible sweat on apparel is the leading pain point for consumers across demographics, often forcing them to compromise between performance, comfort, and appearance,” said Tara Maurer-Mackay, product category director, branded specialty products, The LYCRA Company. “Consumers want one fabric that does it all, and COOLMAX CloakFX™ fiber helps garments look drier while keeping them cool and dry.”

In addition to sweat-masking performance, COOLMAX CloakFX™ fiber can provide higher UPF protection than conventional polyester fibers due to its unique structure and composition. Ninety-three percent of the polyester in this GRS-certified fiber is recycled, helping support sustainability goals without requiring changes to manufacturing processes.

Following extensive validation through the company’s innovation and testing processes, development of COOLMAX CloakFX™ fiber continues across knit, woven, and seamless applications. The innovation pipeline is also expanding into additional wearing occasions and select non-apparel markets, underscoring its broader potential.

The LYCRA Company will also be showcasing elastane fabrics and garments made with renewable LYCRA ® EcoMade fiber at the textile trade show. Made from 70 percent plant-based resources, this bio-derived solution reduces the carbon footprint of apparel while delivering the same trusted performance as traditional LYCRA ® fiber.

To see sample commercial fabrics developed by leading mills that feature COOLMAX CloakFX™ fiber, visit The LYCRA Company’s standC09-C10 at Performance Days Munich.
