“CLR estimates that at least 20 skin care products containing its postbiotic lysates are sold every minute”

patents for a slew of cosmetic inventions. They developed a patented native soluble


collagen at a time when hydrolysed collagen was all that was available. Again, this was a major success, and it was


used by some of the largest global brands to improve skin health and reduce signs of ageing. The hits kept coming. In the late 1970s,


Dr. Kludas and Günther Borchert filed patents covering the use of postbiotic lysate of probiotic bacteria for the benefit of anti-ageing cosmetics, specifically including DNA repair. Then, in 1982, the company launched the first version of Repair Complex CLR – a truly

star ingredient that established its expertise in fermentation and postbiotics.


Science-led progress Postbiotic lysates remain a key focus of CLR; perhaps its main focus, along with bioactive phytochemistry and protein chemistry. This is because fermentation, purification


and fragmentation to obtain CLR’s postbiotic lysates require extreme precision and total control of the process parameters. This needs high-tech equipment and highly


educated, goal-oriented production personnel, along with a plethora of scientific research.


Since the 1970s, hundreds of experiments


have been conducted by dozens of scientists, be they chemists, biotechnologists, biochemists, cell biologists, engineers, microbiologists, or computational biologists. The hard work has paid off handsomely. CLR


estimates that at least 20 skin care products containing its postbiotic lysates are sold every minute. Under the guidance of Stefan Borchert, the


company remains committed to its scientific principles. The company continues to work with several


European universities. March 2025 PERSONAL CARE
