·    Management sees no reason behind movement in share price

9 April 2025 - SkinBioTherapeutics plc (AIM: SBTX), a life science company focused on skin health, announces that, following the successful global launch of Zenakine^TM by Croda Beauty at the in-cosmetics Global 2025 meeting in Amsterdam yesterday, management sees no reason for the reduction in share price on 8 April 2025. 

Stuart Ashman, CEO of SkinBioTherapeutics said: "The Croda Beauty team held a technical presentation to a completely full auditorium (standing room only) and presented on the cosmetic active ingredient and its benefits - as we had expected and so much more. The positive reception from the audience was very exciting to see."

Apart from the anticipated cosmetic claims that the management of SkinBioTherapeutics had been expecting, Croda Beauty team described additional biological mechanisms demonstrated by Zenakine^TM:

·      Reduction of cortisol damage via melatonin production to promote better sleep

·      Resynchronisation of the peripheral skin biological clock to improve circadian rhythm 

·      Improvement of cell longevity and skin regeneration for increased anti-ageing

·    Reduction of residual tension improving skin regeneration and avoiding the appearance of expression wrinkles 

The presentation received a standing ovation from the audience and the Croda Beauty stand subsequently received considerable interest in the product. The SkinBioTherapeutics team looks forward to this interest continuing for the remainder of the show. 

SkinBioTherapeutics' CEO, Stuart Ashman and Dr. Surinder Chahal will discuss the additional and significant attributes of this extraordinary product, its applications and commercialisation at the forthcoming Investor Meets Company Presentation on Wednesday 16th April 2025.
