The Science of How Mitochondria Regulate Skin Longevity - Timeline Masterclass Part 2

In this masterclass episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Dr. Julie Faitg, Senior Manager of Applied Research and Regulatory Affairs at Timeline, to uncover how mitochondrial science is transforming the future of skin longevity.Dr. Faitg challenges the familiar “powerhouse” analogy, instead calling mitochondria the “CEO of the cell.” Far from passive energy producers, these organelles orchestrate communication, repair, and renewal—directly influencing collagen production, elasticity, and cellular resilience. “If your mitochondria aren’t healthy,” she explains, “the entire cascade of cellular function begins to falter.”Through vivid analogies, Dr. Faitg describes how mitochondria behave differently across tissues—fueling endurance in muscles, focus in the brain, and regeneration in the skin. This adaptability, she notes, is what makes them the foundation of both vitality and longevity.The conversation dives into mitochondrial resilience, the skin’s ability to repair and recover from stress. Aging begins when this resilience declines, leading to diminished energy, slower renewal, and visible signs of fatigue.Dr. Faitg highlights Timeline’s breakthrough ingredient, Mitopure® (Urolithin A)—a clinically validated compound that triggers mitophagy, the process of recycling damaged mitochondria. In trials, topical Mitopure® improved collagen expression, hydration, and firmness while reducing inflammation and UV-induced stress.Developed in Switzerland under rigorous safety and precision standards, Timeline’s skincare line redefines beauty as m—a shift from treating the surface to revitalizing the source.🎧 Listen to this episode to explore how mitochondrial health holds the key to radiant, resilient, and truly ageless skin.Learn more about Timeline and shop their products on their website and social media.Chapters:0:02 – Episode Introduction & Guest Welcome1:01 – Why Mitochondria Matter & Overview3:34 – Mitochondria Across Different Tissues5:22 – Mitochondria’s Role in Skin Vitality7:04 – Dysfunction, Aging & Skin Longevity12:19 – Mitochondrial Resilience & Oxidative Stress18:48 – Clinical Studies & Observed Effects on Skin21:32 – Delivery Systems, Penetration, & Safety Considerations25:40 – Translating Swiss Science from Lab to ProductPlease fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don’t forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!*This is a sponsored collaboration* Hosted on Acast.
