ALTUM® Technology

ALTUM® TECHNOLOGY

Innovative spicule and peptide-based delivery system

Altum® Technology synergistically combines highly refined Raphitox™ spicules with GHK peptides using a chemical linker to achieve targeted, stable skin penetration

Raphitox™️

The world’s first ultra-purified spicule

The world's first 99.9% ultra-purified spicules, derived from freshwater sponge. Approximately half the diameter of a skin pore, these naturally occurring bio-spicules create precise micro-channels to enhance the delivery of active ingredients deep into the skin. Exclusive to IDENEL, RaphiTox™ undergoes a proprietary 9-step purification process to remove impurities and residual organic matter. This advanced purification improves biocompatibility, helping to minimise the skin's immune response while reducing the potential for irritation and inflammation for a more comfortable treatment experience.

GHK-Cu Peptide

A powerful regenerative peptide

GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine Copper) is a naturally occurring copper peptide renowned for its regenerative and skin-repairing properties. It supports collagen synthesis, tissue remodelling, and skin recovery, helping improve firmness, elasticity, and overall skin quality. With antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits, GHK-Cu helps protect the skin from environmental stress while supporting a healthier, more resilient complexion. Due to its molecular size and structure, advanced delivery technology such as spicules is used to create temporary micro-channels, enhancing peptide absorption without compromising skin integrity.

These two ingredients are bound together using advanced pharmaceutical drug-delivery technology creating the

MECHANISM OF ACTION

1. Embedding the ALTUM® Peptides

The spicules penetrate the skin barrier and reach the lower epidermal layers.

2. Debonding of the spicule and peptides

Glutathione deep within the skin breaks the chemical bond between the peptide and the spicule.

3. Cellular Stimulation

The released peptides stimulate the fibroblasts in the skin to produce more collagen and elastin

4. Spicule Shed and Skin Improvement

Within 72 hours, the spicules are naturally shed through the skin’s normal renewal process, contributing to improved skin quality.
