In-house research and development
Our passion and expertise lie in developing high-quality products with well-thought-out compositions, offering sophisticated and functional skin care.
We emphasize careful selection of raw materials, balanced formulations, safety of use, and respect for sustainability and environmental protection. Each product is created with the aim of offering modern care that combines a scientific approach, attention to detail, and a high standard of quality.
At the heart of the company is the laboratory — a place where innovative ideas are born, new procedures are verified, and products are created that connect research, functionality, and a refined approach to modern care.
Combining modern science, research, and nature
We believe that the future of quality cosmetics and dietary supplements relies not only on the latest scientific knowledge but also on a sensitive connection to natural traditions.
Therefore, we return to our roots and rediscover the potential of traditional and lesser-known local herbs, plants, and other natural resources for use in dermatology, cosmetics, and nutrition.
These resources are explored through research projects led by the founder of the NEOBOTANICS® brand, biotechnologist and expert in natural active substances, doc. Ing. Petr Kaštánek, Ph.D. We extract valuable functional ingredients from them and verify their biological activity using modern analytical methods.
Bioactive, thoughtfully formulated ingredients
In many of our dietary supplements and cosmetic products, we use our own original and carefully prepared extracts.
Where appropriate for formulation, we work with bioactive substances in the form of liposomal or nano-micellar systems, prepared using our own NEOLIPO® and NEOMICELLE® processes.
These approaches allow us to design products with an emphasis on stability, quality, and a thoughtful use of active ingredients within the overall formulation.
Extreme origin, exceptional potential
In the development of dermo-cosmetic products, we also work with bioactive substances obtained from plants or microorganisms that naturally occur in extreme conditions.
It is precisely in such environments that these organisms create specific protective mechanisms and a natural spectrum of substances that help them cope with environmental stressors.
This unique natural origin is a valuable inspiration for us in creating products designed for modern, functional, and targeted skin care.
Double synergy
The philosophy of the NEOBOTANICS® brand, alongside scientific development inspired by natural bioactive substances, is also based on the principle of so-called double synergy.
The first level is the thoughtful combination of individual active ingredients within each product so that they together create a harmonious and functional whole.
The second level is the connection between external and internal care — that is, between dermo-cosmetics and carefully formulated dietary supplements within the broad NEOBOTANICS® portfolio.
It is precisely this comprehensive approach that characterizes our brand: science, nature, and thoughtful care in a refined, modern, and premium form.

Interviews about individual serums with Doc. Ing. Petr Kaštánek, Ph.D., who is the founder of the Neobotanics brand and developed these products with his team, can be found below.
Main active ingredients:
Niacinamide – an effective form of vitamin B3, a multifunctional substance that improves skin appearance, texture, and radiance. It tightens and minimizes enlarged pores and reduces sebum production.
NeoActine IRIS (extract from three iris varieties) – has an antioxidant effect and helps suppress the growth of the bacterium Cutibacterium acnes, associated with the development of acne on the skin.
Reneseed ™ Peptide (Nicotiana Benthamiana Hexapeptide-40 sh-Polypeptide-76) – contains growth factor TGF-β2, a protein naturally occurring in the body that plays a key role in skin regeneration – it promotes collagen production, improves skin firmness and elasticity, and helps maintain its youthful appearance. In this product, TGF-β2 is obtained by modern biotechnology from the Australian plant Nicotiana benthamiana. It shows activity similar to retinol and retinoic acid, increases collagen production in the skin, smooths wrinkles, brightens the skin, increases firmness and elasticity, more effectively minimizes pore size and increases hydration. After 28 days of use, the number of wrinkles was reduced by up to 42%, wrinkle depth by up to 37%, pores reduced by up to 44%, and skin brightened by up to 42%. [1]
HyRetin ™ (Sodium Retinoyl Hyaluronate) – is an ester of low molecular weight hyaluronic acid and retinoic acid with anti-aging effects that can safely penetrate deep into the skin without irritation. In a study [2] it showed a 36% reduction in wrinkle depth, a 36% reduction in skin sebum production, and a 25% reduction in pore size and a 43% improvement in texture after 4 weeks. In a study [3] on women with problematic skin, it showed a reduction in the number and size of pimples.
Arctalis ™ (Pseudoalteromonas Ferment Extract) – an active ingredient obtained by fermentation of the microorganism pseudoalteromonas from deep cold seas. It has excellent firming and wrinkle-smoothing effects, restores hydration and naturally radiant skin appearance, and also protects it from digital pollution (blue light). A study [4] showed an increase in skin hydration by up to 150% in 7 days, a reduction in wrinkles by up to 67%, a reduction in wrinkles around the eyes by up to 52%, and in 28 days an increase in skin firmness and elasticity by up to 71%.
BB-BIONT ™ (Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4) – BB-BIONT™ protects the skin microbiome. It combats skin dysbiosis and helps achieve smooth, healthy, and flawless skin. It visibly reduces surface irregularities and improves the appearance of acne scars after just one month of application [5] .
Propolis extract – effective soothing and antimicrobial effect.
Centella Asiatica extract – supports collagen synthesis and has antioxidant effects.
Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid – actively moisturizes the skin.
[1] Study on 20 women, applied twice daily
[2] Study on 14 women, aged 37-56, applied once daily
[3] Study on 16 women, aged 15-33, applied once daily for 4 weeks
[4] Study on 26 women, applied twice daily
[5] Study of 7 men and 23 women, aged 18-39. Combination to oily skin with scars, inflammatory spots, and red or brown post-inflammatory spots.
