10 yrs of research, another Aussie scientific breakthrough and a new export range made from apples

Announcement posted by Invigorate PR 23 Jan 2026

A decade after launching Renovatio off the back of a University of Newcastle laboratory breakthrough, Australian health and wellness pioneer Dr Vincent has delivered his most significant innovation yet, developing an advanced formulation that increases the potency of his Activated Phenolic skin care products by 30 per cent.
 

The breakthrough underpins a new range of Renovatio products launched this month, spanning skin care and body wash and marks a major leap forward in natural, science-led wellness.
 

Dr Vincent founded Renovatio in 2016 after discovering a way to extract and activate powerful phenolic compounds from Australian-grown apples, compounds known for their potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. That initial discovery led to the creation of one of Australia's most successful wellness brands built entirely around Activated Phenolics.
 

"Renovatio was born on the farm," Dr Vincent said.
 

"We proved early on that apples held far more therapeutic potential than most people realised and Aussie apples are the best ones in the world. What we've achieved now takes that science to a completely new level.
 

"My research helped my wheelchair bound grandma to walk again without pain. Our original products launched on Friday 13 May 2016. Talk about being lucky, Activated Phenolics powder and An Apple a Day tablets are now consumed worldwide and help hundreds of thousands of people to support their health and wellness. I am very proud of this.
 

"Our product range has grown since our launch with more supplements and new categories including skin care and pantry items, all offering the cellular benefits of Activated Phenolics."
 

Ten years of research, one major leap forward
 

Over the past 10 years, Dr Vincent has continued to refine and intensify his research, focusing on how to preserve, activate and amplify phenolic compounds without degrading their biological effectiveness.
 

That work has culminated in a new, more intensive formulation process, delivering a 30 per cent increase in potency across Renovatio's Activated Phenolic skin care range.
 

"This isn't a marginal improvement," Dr Vincent said.

 

"A 30 per cent increase in potency in a natural compound is significant. It means greater biological activity, greater effectiveness and better outcomes without synthetic enhancement.
 

"As a technology company, we constantly work on advancing this science, allowing Renovatio to lift the performance benchmark across the skin care products."
 

From supplements to skincare and body care, science that works inside and out
 

The enhanced Activated Phenolic technology now powers Renovatio's latest product evolution, including the launch of a range of new APSKIN, a premium skincare and body care range designed to calm inflammation, accelerate repair and support cellular renewal.
 

The APSKIN range includes skin repair oils, body creams, body wash, face cleansers, face mists, face serums and face creams.
 

Each product is clinically formulated and dermatologically tested, using Activated Phenolics extracted from exclusively grown Australian apples.
 

"In skin and body care, inflammation is the silent driver of ageing, sensitivity and damage," Dr Vincent said.
 

"Our enhanced Activated Phenolics target that inflammation at a cellular level, while strengthening the skin barrier and accelerating repair from head to toe.
 

"This is not about adding more ingredients. It's about extracting more power from the right one."
 

A new chapter for Australian-led wellness innovation
 

Industry experts say the breakthrough reinforces Australia's growing reputation for world-class food, health and skin science.
 

"Renovatio started with a single lab discovery that changed the life of my grandma," Dr Vincent said.
 

"Ten years later, we're still pushing boundaries. This breakthrough sets the foundation for the next decade of innovation. We have already launched into the US and we know consumers all over the world are going to love our new range of skin care.
 

"82 percent of our body wash is derived from apple and coconut ingredients. I don't know of any other products on the market that offer that level of natural composition."
 

With global demand accelerating for natural, evidence-based health and skincare, Renovatio's enhanced Activated Phenolic platform positions the brand at the forefront of a rapidly evolving sector.
 

"The future of wellness isn't synthetic," Dr Vincent said.
 

"It's activated."
