What ICP Texinfine does

ICP Texinfine (operating as Laboratoires TEXINFINE) is a privately held French biotechnology laboratory founded in 1982 by Gilles Gutierrez, headquartered at 60 rue Duguesclin in Lyon, with satellite formulation laboratories in Malta and Tahiti. The company develops and commercializes proprietary plant-extract-based dietary supplements and dermocosmetics under its umbrella BIOMIMETIC REGULATORS® technology platform, comprising six trademarked active ingredient families — CAE™ (Punica granatum/pomegranate), EPP™ (Padina pavonica/brown algae), TEX-OE® (Opuntia ficus indica/prickly pear), PNV™ (Portulaca oleracea and Umbilicus rupestris), OBE™ (Ocimum basilicum/basil), and MAEE™ (honey extract) — each tied to specific biological mechanisms such as aquaporin regulation, heat shock protein activation, epithelial cell stimulation, and DNAPK inhibition. The product portfolio spans joint and bone health (DICTYOLONE® 500, FAGAFLEX®), immune and antiviral support (ANHPVi®, IMMUNITÉ synergy pack), genomic integrity (DNA-PKASE® Inhibat, sourced from Tahitian vanilla and quinine extracts), cognitive function (MILACTIF® 200), periodontal health (BAUME GINGIVAL-Pro-TECH®), men's vitality (CONF'HOM®), skin and hair topical treatments (DUO RÉPARATION®, SATIVA M-TEX cream, hair lotions), and indication-specific NOS SYNERGIES bundling packs. Several products have been referenced in the VIDAL French pharmaceutical compendium since 2006, providing pharmacopoeia-grade validation.
