Unlabel: Why is 1000-atmosphere pressure used in cosmetics?
When we talk about high-tech Japanese cosmetics, complex extracts and rare components often come to mind. But the Japanese brand Unlabel has chosen the other way. Their philosophy focuses on the quality of ingredient processing and their delivery into the skin, rather than on their quantity. Key to efficiency of Unlabel is a patented 100 MPa ultra-high pressure (megapascal) treatment technology, which is approximately equal to 1000 atmospheres. In this article, we will analyze what it means for your skin and consider the brand's top products that can be ordered in our store.
The Philosophy of Unlabel: Minimalism with a Scientific Backbone
Unlabel is not just cosmetics — it is a “clean science” philosophy. The brand was born in the laboratories of the Japanese corporation Noevir, which has over 70 years of pharmaceutical research experience. The idea is simple: remove everything unnecessary (fragrances, dyes, potential irritants) and focus on the efficiency of key ingredients.
Why Does It Work?
- For sensitive and atopic skin – the processing of components minimizes the risk of reactions.
- For dehydrated skin with a compromised barrier – the focus is on restoring it with ceramides and hyaluronic acid.
- For the mindful consumer – complete transparency of the formula and a clear purpose for each product.
- But the real technological breakthrough is 100 MPa — this is not marketing; it’s physics.
100 MPa Technology: What is Behind the Numbers?
According to research in materials science and cosmetology, ultra-high pressure (UHP) treatment of liquids produces unique effects:
- Extreme stability and penetration: under enormous pressure, water molecules and active ingredients reorganize, forming incredibly stable, uniform, and microscopically small particles. This allows Unlabel’s serums and essences to create an ultra-light, invisible film on the skin that doesn’t block breathing but ensures maximum deep and even penetration of actives.
- Preservation of delicate ingredient activity: ingredients like pure vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) or placenta peptides easily oxidize and lose potency during traditional production. The 100 MPa technology “locks in” their activity at the molecular level, ensuring you get maximum benefits down to the last drop.
- Strengthened synergy of components: pressure literally “fuses” different molecules into a single effective complex where each ingredient enhances the action of the other.
Simply put: it’s like going from a simple juice-and-pulp mix to a perfectly homogenized, rich, and stable smoothie where every sip is equally beneficial.
Unlabel Product Guide: Choosing According to Your Skin’s Needs
Here’s how the brand’s technology and philosophy manifest in specific products you can purchase to meet your skincare goals.
1. For dull, tired skin with early signs of aging and dark spots
Product: Intensive Serum with 25% Vitamin C — Unlabel Lab Vitamin C 100MPa Essence Premium
- Key ingredients: 25% stabilized L-ascorbic acid (a record concentration, yet non-aggressive thanks to 100 MPa), glycyrrhizin (licorice).
- How 100 MPa works: The technology preserves unstable vitamin C in its active form, ensuring deep penetration without irritation.
- Effect and who it suits: Powerful brightening of pigmentation, evening of tone, and stimulation of collagen synthesis for firming. Experts recommend it for aging skin prone to dullness and pigmentation. According to customer reviews, radiance appears after the first uses.
- How to use: 2–3 drops in the morning on cleansed skin before sunscreen to boost antioxidant protection.
2. For loss of firmness, wrinkles, and sensitive mature skin (a retinol alternative)
Product: Multifunctional Gel-Serum with Bakuchiol — Unlabel Lab Bakuchiol 100MPa Repair Serum Gel
- Key ingredients: bakuchiol (a plant-based retinol alternative from Psoralea corylifolia seeds), ceramides, squalane.
- How 100 MPa works: Ensures delivery of bakuchiol into deeper layers where it gently stimulates renewal and collagen synthesis without the irritation typical of retinol.
- Effect and who it suits: Ideal for those afraid of irritation from classic retinol or with sensitive skin. Smooths wrinkles, increases firmness, and simultaneously restores the skin barrier. Experts consider it one of the best “first” anti-aging serums.
- How to use: Apply in the evening over the entire face instead of a serum or under a cream.
3. For Comprehensive Repair, Hydration, and Radiance
Product: Firming Moisturizing Serum with Placenta — Unlabel Lab Placenta 100MPa Essence
- Key ingredients: hydrolyzed placenta (a source of peptides and amino acids), hyaluronic acid, centella extract.
- How 100 MPa works: Placenta molecules processed under pressure retain their biological activity and penetrate more easily, acting as signaling molecules for skin renewal.
- Effect and who it suits: For skin needing intensive recovery after stress, procedures, or simply for a strong anti-aging effect. Deeply hydrates, improves elasticity, and promotes healing. Research shows placenta peptides can accelerate regeneration.
- How to use: Apply after toner to create a moist, nourishing base before cream.
4. For daily brightening with a tone-up effect
Product: Unlabel Lab NA 100MPa Spot Cream with Niacinamide
- Key ingredients: 100MPa-processed niacinamide, retinyl palmitate (vitamin A), vitamin E (tocopherol), biotin, jojoba oil, squalane.
- How 100 MPa works: Transforms the key active, niacinamide, enhancing its bioavailability and ensuring its deep penetration into the skin's stratum corneum for targeted, effective results.
- Effect and who it suits: Ideal for the delicate eye area. It visibly brightens dark circles and pigmentation, smooths first wrinkles, and restores hydration. Suitable for anyone seeking gentle yet effective brightening and anti-aging care, even for sensitive skin.
- How to use: Apply a small amount to the cleansed eye area during your morning or evening skincare routine, gently patting until fully absorbed.
5. For volume, elasticity, and smoothness of hair
Product: Shampoo with Exosomes — Unlabel LAB EX Bounce Plump Exosome Shampoo
- Key ingredients: rice exosomes (nanoparticles carrying regenerative signals), amino acids for gentle cleansing.
- The brand’s philosophy in haircare: The same principle — technology and effectiveness. Exosomes are a breakthrough in trichology, helping to “wake up” hair follicle cells.
- Effect: cleanses without aggression, gives incredible root volume, elasticity, and silkiness. According to customer reviews, hair looks thicker and healthier.
